  • Method of VME module transfer speed auto-negotiation
    Patent number: 6996643
    Abstract: In a multi-service platform system (103), a method of transfer speed (119) negotiation includes an initiator VME module (402) communicating a negotiation code (406) to a responder VME module (404) using a two edge source synchronous protocol. If the responder VME module recognizes the negotiation code, the responder VME module communicating to the initiator VME module a negotiation ready signal (408). The initiator VME module and the responder VME module auto-negotiating for a transfer speed (119) and setting a negotiated transfer speed between the initiator VME module and the responder VME module.
