A serial connector adapter system includes a serial connector adapter device connected to a computing device. The serial connector adapter device includes a serial communication request subsystem coupled to a serial connector and a first USB connector. The computing device includes a second USB connector connected to the first USB connector, a serial communication subsystem coupled to the second USB connector, and a serial communication configuration subsystem coupled to the second USB connector and the serial communication subsystem. The serial communication configuration uses a USB ground drain connection in the first and second USB connectors subsystems to identify the serial connector adapter device and perform bi-directional communications to receive a request for serial communications with the serial communication subsystem and, in response, configures the serial communication subsystem to perform serial communications via the serial connector using USB transmitter/receiver pair connections in the first and second USB connectors.

A method of delaying or blocking new bus resets from propagating while a previous bus initialization (bus reset, tree-id or self-id) is in process during the performance of a IEEE-1394 serial bus. The method provides for more robust Beta only bus operation during high frequency bus resets. The bus resets are caused by noise events, power-up and power-down sequences and other bus reset causing events.

A method for enabling and disabling Port Error detection and customizing corresponding error count threshold values. The method allows for adjustment of signal error verification thresholds before a connected port signals a loss of connection due to corrupted characters detected during normal operation and initialization on an IEEE-1394 serial bus. Also, the method customizes the limits for a Loss of Synchronization transition and reduces the probability for Bus Resets. Further, the method provides for a more stable bus operation, which is critical for usage in tight-looped and low-latency control systems.
