Original Abstract Submitted

a system includes a processor in a lid portion of a computing device. the processor is communicatively coupled to a plurality of input/output (i/o) devices according to a plurality of i/o communication protocols via a first number of wires. the system includes a first memory coupled to the processor to store instructions that can be executed by the processor and cause the processor to receive, from a first i/o device of the plurality of i/o devices, a first message according to a first i/o communication protocol of the plurality of i/o communication protocols, convert the first message to a second message according to a host communication protocol, and send the second message over a bus containing a second number of wires traversing a hinge movably coupling the lid portion to a base portion of the computing device. the second number of wires is less than the first number of wires.
