Virtual hot plug system and method for PCIe devices

Abstract:

A method for managing a pool of physical functions in a PCIe integrated endpoint includes receiving a configuration instruction indicating a topology for a PCIe connected integrated endpoint (IE), and implementing the topology on the IE. The method further includes receiving a hot plug instruction, and, based at least in part, on the hot plug instruction, adding or removing a virtual endpoint (vEP) to or from a virtual downstream port (vDSP) on the IE.
