Abstract
A system may include multiple chips and a host processor. The host processor can be coupled to the multiple chips and send an enumerate command. The multiple chips can propagate an enumerate packet including the enumerate command from chip-to-chip, and each chip can use information in the enumerate packet to determine its own unique address.
