PROVIDING I2C BUS OVER ETHERNET |
| 摘要 |
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a request from a remote distributed fabric protocol (DFP) system master, using a dedicated processor of a DFP system member, to register local I2C devices on the DFP system member, and sending an acknowledgement including a list of local I2C bus devices back to the DFP system master using the dedicated processor of the DFP system member. The acknowledgement present on the DFP system member. In another embodiment, a system includes a local processor, one or more local I2C bus devices, and a dedicated processor electrically coupled to the local I2C bus devices. The dedicated processor is configured to route interrupts from the local I2C bus devices to the local processor, and expose the local I2C devices to a remote DFP system master by sending details of the local I2C bus devices to the remote DFP system master. |
