Device identification method for systems having multiple device branches

摘要

A method for assigning chip identification (ID) values is disclosed. Unique chip ID values may be assigned to chips ( 106 - 0 to 106 - 5 ) in a system ( 100 ) having multiple branches ( 112 - 0 and 112 - 1 ). After chip IDs have been assigned to chips of a first branch ( 112 - 0 ) a command processing system ( 104 ) may issue an end of branch indication. Chip IDs may then be assigned to chips of a next branch ( 112 - 1 ).
