    Abstract: Power reduction through clock management techniques are disclosed. In one aspect, the clock management is applied to a clock signal on a SOUNDWIRE™ communication bus. In particular, a control system associated with a master device on the communication bus may evaluate frequency requirements of audio streams on the communication bus and select a lowest possible clock frequency that meets the frequency requirements. Lower clock frequencies result in fewer clock transitions and result in a net power saving relative to higher clock frequencies. In the event of a clock frequency change, the master device communicates the clock frequency that will be used prospectively to slave devices on the communication bus, and all devices transition to the new frequency at the same frame boundary. In addition to the power savings, exemplary aspects of the present disclosure do not impact an active audio stream.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, a control device that is configured to onboard a target device to a secure local network by discovering a set of devices over a bootstrapping interface, establishing a bootstrap connection to at least one device from the set of devices in response to the discovery without authorizing the at least one device to access the secure local network, instructing the at least one device via the bootstrap connection to activate an observable function that is configured to be observable to one or more observation entities that are separate from the control device and are in proximity to the at least one device, determining whether an operator of the control device verifies that the observable function has been successfully detected as performed by the target device and selectively authorizing the at least one device to access the secure local network based on the determination.

    Abstract: Multi-channel audio alignment schemes are disclosed. One aspect of the present disclosure provides for accumulation of audio samples across multiple related audio channels at an audio source. Related audio channels indicate their interrelatedness, and when all the related audio channels have data to transmit, the source releases the data onto the time slots of the Serial Low-power Inter-chip Media Bus (SLIMbus), such that the related audio channels are within a given segment window of the time slot. This accumulation is repeated at the boundary of every segment window. Similarly, accumulation may be performed at the audio sink. Components within the audio sink may only read received data if status signals from all related sinks indicate that predefined thresholds have been reached. By providing such accumulation options, audio fidelity is maintained across multiple audio data channels.

    Abstract: Multi-channel audio communication in a Serial Low-power Inter-chip Media Bus (SLIMbus) system is disclosed. In this regard, in one aspect, a multi-channel output port is provided in a SLIMbus system. The multi-channel output port receives an audio stream from an audio source (e.g., a storage medium) via a direct memory access (DMA) pipe and distributes the audio stream to multiple receiving ports (e.g., speakers) over multiple data channels, all connected to the single multi-channel output port. In another aspect, a multi-channel input port is provided in a SLIMbus system. The multi-channel input port connects to multiple data channels from multiple distributing ports (e.g., microphones). By providing the multi-channel output port and/or the multi-channel input port in a SLIMbus system, it is possible to support multiple data channels with a single DMA pipe, thus improving implementation flexibilities and efficiencies of the SLIMbus system.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing latency on long distance point-to-point links where the point-to-point link is a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) express (PCIE) link that modifies a receiver to advertise infinite or unlimited credits. A transmitter sends packets to the receiver. If the receiver's buffers fill, the receiver, contrary to PCIE doctrine, drops the packet and returns a negative acknowledgement (NAK) packet to the transmitter. The transmitter, on receipt of the NAK packet, resends packets beginning with the one for which the NAK packet was sent. By the time these resent packets arrive, the receiver will have had time to manage the packets in the buffers and be ready to receive the resent packets.
