Abstract
A system and method for automatically generating a control bifurcation signal to configure ports of a PCIe IO unit on a computing device. The lanes of the PCIe IO unit are divided into initial ports of the lowest granularity. It is determined whether a PCIe device is connected to each of the initial ports. The bifurcation port configuration of the PCIe IO unit is determined based on the initial ports having a connected PCIe device. Ports for the PCIe IO unit are configured based on the bifurcation port configuration.
