Abstract
An interface between electronic devices uses a credit-based flow protocol with sustained bus signals. An initiating device waits for credit to issue a command to a target device. When credit is available, the initiating device issues the command to the target device such that the command is accessible by the target device until a new command is issued. The command may include a read or write request to the target device.
