System and method for a configurable interface controller

A method for dynamically assigning interface pins, said method comprising:

• receiving a first assignment request;
• identifying one or more interface pins that correspond to the first assignment request;
• selecting a first interface controller from a plurality of interface controllers that correspond to the first assignment request;
• and
• associating the identified interface pins with the selected interface controller.

An information handling system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• one or more interface pins;
• a plurality of interface controllers;
• a memory accessible by the processors;
• one or more nonvolatile storage devices accessible by the processors;
• and
• an interface pin assignment tool for assigning one or more of the interface pins to one of the interface controllers, the interface pin assignment tool including:
• means for receiving a first assignment request;
• means for identifying one or more of the interface pins that correspond to the first assignment request;
• means for selecting a first interface controller from the plurality of interface controllers that correspond to the first assignment request;
• and
• means for associating the identified interface pins with the selected interface controller.

A computer program product stored on a computer operable media for dynamically changing pin to interface controller assignment:

• means for receiving a first assignment request;
• means for identifying one or more interface pins that correspond to the first assignment request;
• means for selecting a first interface controller from a plurality of interface controllers that correspond to the first assignment request;
• and
• means for associating the identified interface pins with the selected interface controller.
