Abstract
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for serial communications over a communications control pin. The method may include detecting, by a first device including a data interface, a current flow at a first communication control pin at the data interface; and assigning, by the first device based on the detection of the current flow at the first communication control pin, serial data communication circuitry to a second communication control pin at the data interface to carry serial data communications to another device. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.
