Abstract
A system, device and method for communicating between a host device and a plurality of peripheral devices wherein the communications utilize a single interface that is supported by the host. The host includes a plurality of class drivers and miniport drivers. Each of the class drivers implements functionality associated with one or more of the plurality of peripheral devices. Each miniport driver provides an interface by which one or more of the class drivers communicate with one or more of the plurality peripheral devices using class protocols, wherein the miniport drivers communicate through a single host interface supported by the host. An embedded controller interfaces with the plurality of peripheral devices using the respective native bus protocols of the peripheral devices and wherein the embedded controller interfaces with the plurality of miniport drivers using the single host interface.
