An electronic device connectable to a network interface device having a plurality of signal lanes may include a first computing device, a second computing device, and an interface to connect the first computing device to a first subset of signal lanes of the plurality of data lanes of the network interface device and connect the second computing device to a second subset of data lanes of the plurality of data lanes of the network computing device.

Electronic device and method for sharing data lanes of a network interface device between two or more computing devices

A method including altering the configuration of a system including a processor, firmware storage and a scratchpad from a first configuration in which a first version of firmware enabling a first plurality of system operations is run by the processor, into a second configuration in which a second version of firmware enabling a second plurality of system operations is run by the processor, the altering including: A) re-configuring the system from the first configuration into an intermediate configuration in which the processor continues to run the first version of the firmware, B) while the system is in the intermediate configuration, disallowing at least one of the first plurality of operations, C) re-configuring the system from the intermediate configuration to the second configuration, and D) while the system is in the second configuration, allowing the second plurality of operations. Related apparatus and methods are also provided.
