Abstract
A multi-interface bus allows for different bus standards to be implemented over the same set of physical bus lines. More particularly, in one implementation, the system includes a first circuit board, a second circuit board, and a bus connecting the first and second circuit boards. The second circuit board is configured to communicate with the first circuit board using either a synchronous or an asynchronous bus protocol determined based on a bus protocol used by the first circuit board.
