Abstract
In one embodiment, a system comprises: a processor to execute a native operating system (OS); and an interface circuit coupled to the processor, the interface circuit configured to tunnel communications of a plurality of tunneled protocols, the interface circuit to couple to at least one device via a first tunneled protocol, where a connection manager for the interface circuit is to execute in a user space of the native OS. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Claims21
A system comprising:
- a processor to execute a native operating system (OS);
- and
- an interface circuit coupled to the processor, the interface circuit configured to tunnel communications of a plurality of tunneled protocols, the interface circuit to couple to at least one device via a first tunneled protocol;
- wherein a connection manager for the interface circuit is to execute in a user space of the native OS.
A method comprising:
- mapping a memory space of a connection manager for a universal serial bus (USB) interface circuit to a user space of a native operating system (OS) of a cloud client device;
- receiving a first management request from a first guest OS, the first management request for the USB interface circuit;
- and
- managing a topology of the USB interface circuit, via the connection manager mapped to the user space, based at least in part on the first management request.
A system comprising:
- a client device comprising:
- a processor to execute a native operating system (OS);
- and
- a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface circuit coupled to the processor, the USB interface circuit configured to tunnel communications of a plurality of tunneled protocols, the USB interface circuit to couple to a peripheral device via a first tunneled protocol, wherein a connection manager for the USB interface circuit is to execute in a user space of the native OS;
- and
- the peripheral device coupled to the client device via a USB link.
