Abstract: An information handling system includes an Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) master device and an I2C slave device coupled to the I2C master device via an I2C bus. The I2C slave device is configured with a pre-set I2C address and includes seeding data that is unique to the I2C slave device. The I2C master device receives the seeding data and addresses the I2C slave device at an I2C slave address instead of at the pre-set I2C address, wherein the I2C slave address is based upon the seeding data.

Abstract: The system comprises a device, the device comprising a physical port. The device is configured to communicate with a controller through a communication medium. The controller is situated on a circuit board. The physical port is not configured to communicate with the communication medium. The device is also configured to communicate with a processor through the circuit board, but the physical port is not configured to communicate with the processor through the circuit board. The device is additionally configured to create a first packet comprising information corresponding to first device information. The first device information is formatted in a protocol associated with the physical port. The device is further configured to transmit the first packet to the controller through the communication medium.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a method may include during boot of an information handling system, obtaining from a management controller integral to the information handling system information regarding resource requirements for one or more peripheral devices communicatively coupled to the one or more processor sockets integral to the information handling system and the management controller. The method may also include determining whether a default allocation of resources for the one or more peripheral devices among the one or more processor sockets by a basic input/output system integral to the information handling system satisfies the resource requirements. The method may further include, in response to determining the default allocation does not satisfy the resource requirements, rebalancing resources among the one or more processor sockets to satisfy the resource requirements prior to enumeration of the one or more peripheral devices.
