Abstract

An interface controller, coupling a device main body of an external electronic device to a host, is disclosed, which transmits a termination-on signal to the host prior to a mechanically stable state of a device main body of the external electronic device. When the device main body has not reached the mechanically stable state yet, the interface controller responds to the host with default link information in a delayed manner. The default link information is contained in the interface controller. When the device main body reaches the mechanically stable state, the interface controller transmits specific link information retrieved from the device main body to the host.
