Abstract
A hybrid PCI_Express fabric system allows LPC bus commands and data to be sent across the PCI_Express fabric from a portable computer to its docking station. This permits the portable computer to be coupled to peripheral devices connected to the docking station without additional connectors on the portable computer and the docking station.
