1. A method of initiating re-enumeration of a device compatible with SuperSpeed Universal Serial Bus (USB), the method comprising:
- establishing, by the device, a connection with a host over a SuperSpeed USB;
transmitting, by the device, an indicator from the device to the host over the SuperSpeed USB, the indicator being a SuperSpeed indicator identifying a condition of the device that is different than a current condition of the device, the transmitting of the indicator configured to cause a Link Training and Status State Machine (LTSSM) of the host to move from active state (U0) to one of SS.Inactive and RX.Detect in order to induce the host into performing re-enumeration on the device;
when both the host and the device are in the RX.Detect state, synchronizing by the device with the host;
receiving, by the device, a pre-generated device descriptor request from the host; and
presenting, by the device, a new configuration of the device to the host in response to the device descriptor request.

Abstract
Methods, physical computer-readable media, and devices are provided that allow re-enumeration to be initiated on a USB 3.0-compatible device. The method includes establishing a connection with a host, transmitting an indicator from the device to the host to cause a Link Training and Status State Machine (LTSSM) of the host to move from active state (U0) to one of SS.Inactive and RX.Detect, synchronizing the device with the host, and presenting a new configuration of the device to the host.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a controller:
-
cause the device to establish a connection with a host over a SuperSpeed universal serial bus (USB); cause the device to transmit an indicator from a device to the host over the SuperSpeed USB, the indicator being a SuperSpeed indicator identifying a condition of the device that is different than a current condition of the device, the transmitting of the indicator configured to cause a Link Training and Status State Machine (LTSSM) of the host to move from active state (U0) to one of SS.Inactive and RX.Detect in order to induce the host into performing re-enumeration on the device; cause the device to synchronize the device with the host when both the host and the device are in the RX.Detect state; and cause the device to present a new configuration of the device to the host in response to receiving a device descriptor request from the host. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A device comprising:
-
a controller; and a memory in communication with the controller, including instructions, that when executed by the controller; cause the device to establish a connection between a device and a host over a SuperSpeed universal serial bus (USB), cause the device to transmit an indicator from the device to the host over the SuperSpeed USB, the indicator being a SuperSpeed indicator identifying a condition of the device that is different than a current condition of the device, the transmitting of the indicator configured to cause a Link Training and Status State Machine (LTSSM) of the host to move from active state (U0) to one of SS.Inactive and RX.Detect in order to induce the host into performing re-enumeration with the device, cause the device to synchronize the device with the host when both the host and the device are in the RX.Detect state, and cause the device to present a new configuration of the device to the host in response to receiving a device descriptor request from the host. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
