ABSTRACT:
A computing system is described that includes an I/O unit interface that is deactivated while said computing system operates within a non main CPU/OS based operational state. The computing system also includes a controller that operates functional tasks while the computing system is within the non main CPU/OS based operational state. The computing system also includes an I/O unit that is coupled to both the I/O unit interface and the controller.
