Abstract

Embodiments of the invention are directed towards scalable and dynamically configurable (and reconfigurable) device host controller solutions for system platform controller hubs (PCH). Embodiments of the invention may include logic or modules to detect a device coupled to a common I/O port (alternatively referred to as a converged I/O port) of a host system and determine its device type. Said logic or modules may further load host controller firmware for the device type from a memory to a processing core, such that the processing core will execute the host controller firmware to enable data transfer between the device and the host system. Said processing core may be configured and reconfigured based on the device type connected to the associated common I/O port.
