Abstract
An apparatus and a computer-implemented method for processing data in a bus system component. The bus system component is configured to operate in one of an endpoint mode and a root complex mode. Responsive to configuring the bus system component to operate in endpoint mode, the data is processed through the bus system component according to an endpoint process. Responsive to configuring the bus system component to operate in root complex mode, the data is transferred through the bus system component according to a root complex mode. In an illustrative example, the bus system component is a peripheral control interconnect express component.
