Abstract
A system to monitor performance of a computing device includes a first bridge to interface with a first set of devices, and a second bridge to interface with a second set of devices. Configuration registers store configuration data associated with the second set of devices, and are accessible through the second bridge. A hub interface allows data to transfer downstream from the first bridge to the second bridge, and allows data to transfer upstream from the second bridge to the first bridge. A controller, external to the first and second bridges, accesses the configuration registers via the second bridge. A logic device allows the second bridge to send data to, and receive data from, the controller.
