Abstract:
A data packet or payload defined by a first format, is generated and is wrapped with headers as defined by a second format, and is processed through a pass through mechanism for transmission based on the second format. The processing includes adding or encapsulating the payload in the transmission data packet. When receiving the transmitted data packet, the theaders may be parsed, and the payload processed.
Abstract:
A system including a host coupled to a memory device and a peripheral controller device. The host is coupled to the peripheral controller device via a bus having a plurality of general purpose signal lines to carry time-multiplexed address, data, and control information. The peripheral controller device performs direct memory access (DMA) transactions with the memory device via the host and the bus.
Abstract:
A system having a bus coupled to a host and a memory device. The bus may include a plurality of general purpose signal lines to carry time-multiplexed address, data, and control information. The memory device may store system start-up information and communicate this information with the host over the bus.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus is disclosed for providing an interlocked broadcast message that solves the problem of a system component taking action in response to a broadcast message issued by a processor before the processor receives communication that the broadcast message has been delivered. A broadcast message transaction request is issued from a processor. The broadcast message transaction request is posted in a transaction request buffer. A reply is communicated to the processor that the broadcast message transaction request has been posted, and the broadcast message is then delivered over the bus. In an alternative embodiment, after the broadcast message transaction request is issued from the processor, the broadcast message transaction request is stored in a transaction request buffer. The broadcast message is only delivered over the bus once it has been determined that the reply to the processor that the broadcast message transaction has completed can be immediately delivered to the processor following the delivery of the broadcast message.

Abstract:
A system having a bus (124) coupled to a host (102) and a memory device (108). The bus (124) may include a plurality of general purpose signal lines to carry time-multiplexed address, data, and control information. The memory device (108) may store system start-up information and communicate this information with the host (102) over the bus (124).
Abstract:
A system including a host (102) coupled to a memory device (108) and a peripheral controller device (120). The host (102) is coupled to the peripheral controller device (120) via bus (124) having a plurality of general purpose signal lines to carry time-multiplexed address, data, and control information. The peripheral controller device (120) performs a direct memory access (DMA) transactions with the memory device (108) via the host (102) the bus (124).
