Abstract:
In one example, a direct memory access controller includes a memory interface, a requestor interface, and an address generator. The memory interface is configured to cause a memory to provide at least a subset of data stored in the memory. The requestor interface is configured to receive a request for a consecutively addressed subset of the data stored in the memory to be provided in a non-consecutive order. The address generator is in communication with the requestor interface and the memory interface. The address generator is configured to, based on the request, sequentially generate non-consecutive addresses of the requested subset of the data to cause the memory to provide the requested subset of data in the requested non-consecutive order.
