Virtual wire protocol for transmitting side band channels

A method comprising:

• selecting, by an arbiter circuit coupled between a plurality of data storage circuits corresponding to a plurality of source signals and an encoder circuit, information pertaining to one or more of the plurality of source signals from the corresponding plurality of data storage circuits;
• encoding, by the encoder circui, the information selected from the one or more of the plurality of source signals into a virtual wire waveform;
• and
• transmitting, the virtual wire waveform over a mesh interface.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• selecting, by an arbiter circuit, one or more source signals of a plurality of source signals from a corresponding plurality of data storage circuits, wherein the arbiter circuit is coupled between the plurality of data storage circuits and an encoder circuit;
• encoding, by the encoder circuit, information representing the one or more source signals into a virtual wire waveform;
• and
• transmitting, the virtual wire waveform over a mesh interface.
