Abstract
An apparatus including a host system is provided. The apparatus includes a peripheral device in communication with the host system. The apparatus also includes a programmable memory unit within the peripheral device. The programmable memory unit is to receive a configuration profile from the host system. The configuration profile is to re-configure as an embedded device. In addition, the apparatus includes a power delivery system to provide power to the programmable memory unit and to provide power to an accessory of the peripheral device separately. The power delivery system provides power to the programmable memory unit to allow re-configuration of the peripheral device as the embedded device.
