Abstract: An interface device receives at least one access command with at least one corresponding slave address on a bus. The interface device reads a configuration register, and responsive to the reading of the configuration register, the interface device selects one of a plurality of interface architecture configurations. The interface architecture configurations allow the interface device to operate as either a single physical interface entity or as multiple virtual interface entities. The interface device processes the access command according to the selected interface architecture configuration.

Abstract translation: 接口设备在总线上接收至少一个对应的从地址的至少一个访问命令。 接口设备读取配置寄存器，并且响应于配置寄存器的读取，接口设备选择多个接口架构配置中的一个。 接口架构配置允许接口设备作为单个物理接口实体或多个虚拟接口实体操作。 接口设备根据所选择的接口体系结构配置处理访问命令。
