ABSTRACT:
Embodiments provide an efficient system of device configuration and detection for a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) system. Each connected device provides a descriptor and is accessed at a predetermined address. The device is then configured by the operating system based on the device descriptor and assigned a device address for further operation. The system also supports the assignment of devices to different partitions in the computer system.
