A system and method are disclosed for an electronic integrated circuit to communicate with different hosts via different interfaces using the same host protocol. The system may use a host interface circuit to select a first set of electrical contacts or a second set of electrical contacts in order for a first host or a second host, respectively, to communicate with the electronic integrated circuit using a host protocol. The method may include switching from communicating with the first host using the first set of electrical contacts to communicating with the second host using the second set of electrical contacts in order for the second host to test the electronic integrated circuit.
