ABSTRACT:
A virtual universal serial port interface (“USI”) and a virtual storage device interface (“VSI”) interfacing with a host system and a remote console over a network link is provided. The USI includes a control register that receives control information from a processor and a legacy control register; and a status register that receives information from a legacy control register and based on that information, the processor formats information stored in a buffer destined for transmission over a serial port. The VSI includes, a first register that receives control information from a third register that stores control information sent by a processor used to update a fourth register that notifies the host system.
