SYSTEM AND METHOD TO ENABLE CLOSED CHASSIS DEBUG CONTROL INTERFACE USING A USB TYPE-C CONNECTOR

摘要

A system, method and apparatus for enabling a closed chassis debug control interface are disclosed. In one embodiment, the system comprises a debug mode control (DCI) unit; a Type-C connector; a Universal Serial Bus (USB) physical (phy) interface coupled to the connector; and interface logic coupled to the DCI unit and the USB phy interface to exchange debug control interface (DCI) signaling between the connector and the DCI unit.
