Abstract

An electronic system is provided. The electronic system includes a platform controller and a plurality of peripheral devices. The platform controller has a first bus. The plurality of peripheral devices are respectively connected to the platform controller through the first bus. The plurality of peripheral devices include a master peripheral device and a slave peripheral device. The master peripheral device is connected to the slave peripheral device through a communication signal line. The master peripheral device communicates with the platform controller through the first bus. When the master peripheral device receives a communication request from the slave peripheral device through the communication signal line, the master peripheral device provides a communication signal corresponding to the communication request to the first bus, so the slave peripheral device communicates with the platform controller through the first bus.
