Abstract
The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for converting between serial bus cycles and parallel port commands. A serial bus processor processes a serial bus transaction which is represented by the serial bus cycles and is responsive to the parallel port commands. A state machine circuit is coupled to the serial bus processor to provide a plurality of states corresponding to the serial bus transaction. The state machine circuit transitions from one of the states to any one of the states in response to a change condition asserted by a state signal.
