Abstract
In a system including a host and a peripheral repeater having at least one peripheral coupled thereto, data from the peripheral is packetized at the peripheral repeater and sent to the host. This is done by establishing a baud rate for the peripheral, accumulating messages from the peripheral into packets and terminating and transmitting a packet. The terminating and transmitting is performed if a predetermined time based on the baud rate passes without receiving a byte from the peripheral.
