METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING MULTIPLE SELF-ID PACKETS ON THE 1394 BUS USING A STANDARD PHY CHIP

摘要

Method and system for generating a self-ID packets of several used to map the node topology is disclosed. Node topology, NOD1, NOD2 ,. plurality of nodes coupled to said serial bus (11) High Performance Serial Bus . . , Is based on a computer system by NODn. Each node further includes an identification packets that are used to self-identify each node itself on the network. In particular, during the self-ID process, as well as the self-ID packets of the plurality of associated hardware actually present in the bath (11), the virtual node VNOD1 ,. multiple non actually exist . . , VNODn is generated. Then, in order to identify itself, self-ID packets which are transferred to the remaining nodes of the other network through the serial bus. Then, topology mapping table is generated from all these self-ID packet.
