Abstract
A bus controller is capable of controlling a dual ported bus interface in combination with a peer interface. The bus controller comprises a state machine capable of executing in the dual ported bus interface. The dual ported bus interface has first and second front end ports for connection to hosts, and is capable of insertion into one of first and second slots for connection to one or more buses on a backplane. The state machine determines bus interface state based on information from the peer interface received across the backplane, and status of the first and second front end ports.
