Abstract
A system and method for efficiently implementing an electronic device architecture preferably includes a primary device that is configured to perform core operating functions in the electronic architecture, an auxiliary device that is configured to perform selected additional operating functions in the electronic architecture, a primary channel configured for performing communications procedures between the primary device and the auxiliary device, and an auxiliary channel configured for performing data transfer operations between the primary device and the auxiliary device. The communications procedures over the primary channel and the data transfer operations over the auxiliary channel may preferably occur in a concurrent manner.
