Original Abstract Submitted

Examples described herein relate to communications with a bootable processor. Some examples include allocating memory address space to provide access to communications over general purpose input output (GPIO)-consistent pins, wherein the GPIO-consistent pins comprise pins coupled to the bootable processor and a pin of the pins coupled to the bootable processor receives or transmits communication for multiple platform GPIO pins.
