  • Patent number: 12253967
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for enabling an MFi stack and corresponding MFi application to be authenticated in an emulator operating using one or more processors/CPUs are presented. In one aspect, a computer may include a memory and processor configured to execute the operating system. The computer may include a USB bus coupled through USB interface to a dongle. The dongle may include an authentication coprocessor for use in an integrated circuit (I2C)-to-USB configuration, and an I2C-to-USB computer. Driver code running on the computer may manage the data exchanged between the authentication coprocessor and a virtual emulator on the computer. The emulator may include a USB-to-I2C driver that virtualizes the authentication coprocessor as an I2C device running with the MFi application like CarPlay.
