METHOD FOR DYNAMIC CONFIGURATION OF AN ELECTRONIC SYSTEM WITH VARIABLE INPUT AND OUTPUT SIGNALS

摘要

To enable dynamic configuration of an electronic system (10) having a first electronic module (141) and at least one second electronic module (161) for providing input and output connections to the first module, the second electronic module carries a memory (38) containing configuration information. A controller (36) on the first electronic module can query the memory (38) on an interconnected second electronic module to obtain the configuration information for that module. Using the configuration information obtained from the second electronic module, the first electronic module can configure its self accordingly. In this way, the first electronic module can configure itself without any a priori information about the second electronic module.
