Bus independent platform for sensor hub peripherals to provide coalescing of multiple reports

A sensor hub, comprising:

• a first transport bus interface to communicate with an I/O hub via a first transport bus;
• and
• a sensor hub microcontroller including:
• a second transport bus driver to communicate with a peripheral device via a second transport bus, wherein the peripheral device complies with a device specification;
• a second transport bus plugin to adapt bus-specific operations to generic operations for the device specification;
• a device class driver to communicate bus-independent peripheral reports based on the generic operations;
• and
• a peripheral management module to coalesce multiple peripheral reports into a single instance visible to the I/O hub via the first transport bus interface and the first host bus interface.

A computer readable storage medium including processor executable program instructions, the program instructions comprising:

• first transport bus interface instructions to communicate with an I/O hub via a first transport bus;
• second transport bus driver instructions to communicate with a peripheral device via a second transport bus, wherein the peripheral device complies with a device specification;
• second transport bus plugin instructions to adapt bus-specific operations to generic operations for the device specification;
• device class driver instructions to communicate bus-independent peripheral reports based on the generic operations;
• and
• peripheral management module instructions to coalesce multiple peripheral reports into a single instance visible to the I/O hub via the first transport bus interface and the first host bus interface.
