1. A device comprising:
a connector configured to receive signal having one of a first value or a second value;
first circuitry, wherein based on the signal having the first value, first configuration data is selected to configure the first circuitry to operate according to a first protocol, and based on the signal having the second value, second configuration data is selected to configure the first circuitry to operate according to a second protocol; and
second circuitry coupled to the connector and the first circuitry, wherein based on the signal having the first value, a first portion of the second circuitry is selected for connecting to a first portion of the first circuitry to provide a first type of interface, and based on the signal having a second value, a second portion of the second circuitry is selected for connecting to a second portion of the first circuitry to provide a second type of interface.
