A multi-service platform system () includes a monolithic backplane (), a slot () coupled to the monolithic backplane, wherein the slot is coupled to receive a payload module (), and a backplane data device () integrally embedded in the monolithic backplane, wherein the backplane data device comprises backplane system data () for communication to the payload module when the payload module is coupled to the monolithic backplane.

Integrally embedded backplane data device and method

In a multi-service platform system (), a method of transfer speed () negotiation includes an initiator VME module () communicating a negotiation code () to a responder VME module () using a two edge source synchronous protocol. If the responder VME module recognizes the negotiation code, the responder VME module communicating to the initiator VME module a negotiation ready signal (). The initiator VME module and the responder VME module auto-negotiating for a transfer speed () and setting a negotiated transfer speed between the initiator VME module and the responder VME module.
