ABSTRACT:
A peripheral hardware device may be provided for a computing system including a software operating system. The peripheral hardware device may include functional electronics configured to provide functionality for the peripheral hardware device. The peripheral hardware device may also include interface electronics configured to provide communication between the functional electronics and the software operating system, wherein the interface electronics are configured to provide both a virtual network interface and a virtual serial interface with the software operating system. Related computing systems are also discussed.
