ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method for detecting if a device is coupled to an inter-integrated circuit (I2C) router and/or for resetting the device. The I2C router comprises a first I2C bus port having a presence line and/or a reset line. The I2C router further comprises a control logic coupled to and/or distributed within the first I2C bus port. The control logic may determine if a device is coupled to the I2C router as a function of a state of the presence line. The control logic may also determine if a reset condition exists. If a reset condition exists, the control logic changes the state of the reset line, thereby causing the device to reset itself.
