Abstract
An information handling system includes a first device, a host device, and a dock. The dock communicates with the first device over a first physical communication link, and with the host device over a second physical communication link. The dock receives a vendor defined message from the host device over the second physical communication link. In response to the first device being a destination device for the vendor defined message, the dock converts the vendor defined message to a second message having a different protocol as compared to the vendor defined message and designates an embedded controller of the dock as a virtual destination for the second message. In response to the first device being the destination device, the embedded controller regenerates the second message as a second vendor defined message and provides the second vendor defined message to the first device via the second physical communication link.
