Abstract
The present disclosure includes methods, devices, and systems for state change in systems having devices coupled in a chained configuration.

The chained configuration includes at least one device that is not directly coupled to the host. The at least one device that is not directly coupled to the host is configured to change from a first communication state to a second communication state responsive to receipt of a command from the host.
