Abstract:
A circuit arrangement, method and apparatus utilize communication links that are selectively configurable to operate in both unidirectional and bidirectional modes to communicate data between multiple nodes that are interconnected to one another in a daisy chain configuration. As a result, in many instances communications may be maintained with nodes located both before and after a discontinuity in a daisy chain configuration.
