Abstract

A method (700) for reconfiguring pin assignments on a connector (100) is provided. The method (700) includes reading a present accessory type (34a) from an accessory (30) coupled to the connector (100) having a plurality of pins (110) wherein the present accessory type (34a) is associated with an accessory pin assignment (31) of the connector (100), and comparing the present accessory type (34a) to a stored accessory type (18a) associated with a connector pin assignment (17) to determine if the accessory pin assignment (31) is compatible with the connector pin assignment (17).

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments described below relate to connectors with pin assignments, and more particularly to methods and apparatus for reconfiguring pin assignments on a connector. Background technique [0002] Electronic devices communicate with each other through connectors. For example, a printed circuit board (PCB) may have multi-pin connectors soldered to the board. The connector can be mated with the cable such that each exposed conductor in the cable can be electrically coupled with each pin in the connector. Electronic devices can communicate through connectors and cables by sending and receiving signals through pins and conductors. Connectors are typically keyed so that cables cannot be installed backwards into the connector. Sometimes instead of a cable, a PCB can be directly coupled to another PCB. For example, input / output (I / O) devices with integrated displays and keyboards are sometimes coupled to the processor board through a pair of mating conne...
