Actually, this is a different one than the one I was mentioning at the Linaro Connect. I believe SLIMbus is more active http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SLIMbus The other bus I was mentioning is called SSBI, which as far as I know is only used to communicate between MSMs and certain Qualcomm peripheral chips. Kenneth would better be able to clarify how dynamic the SLIMbus is. David -- Sent by an employee of the Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc.
