Abstract: An example apparatus in accordance with one implementation of the present disclosure includes an actuator to configure a physical characteristic of a peripheral device in communication with a primary device and a controller to obtain user preferences associated with an identity of a user of the primary device and to control the actuator to configure the physical characteristic in accordance with the user preferences.

Abstract: A JTAG module (12) includes a master component (20) and any number of slave components (22). The master component (20) includes a TAP controller (24) and related control circuits. Through a control bus (35), the TAP controller (24) on the master component (20) controls boundary-scan registers (18) on the slave components (22). The boundary-scan registers (18) in the slave components (22) form a boundary-scan chain that originates and terminates at the master component (20). TAP controller circuitry may be omitted from the slave components (22). The boundary-scan registers (18) on the master and slave components (20, 22) are partitioned into external sections (26, 34) and internal sections (28, 36). The external sections couple to conductive traces (46) which are accessible from outside the module (12). The internal sections couple to conductive traces (48) which are substantially inaccessible from outside the module (12).
