    Abstract: A system includes memory which has a first resource at a first physical address space that includes a first physical address, and a second resource at a second physical address space that includes a second physical address. A memory mapper is coupled to the memory. The memory mapper is configured to convert logical addresses to physical addresses. A processor is coupled to the memory mapper. The processor is configured to execute the first resource from a first logical address mapped by the memory mapper to the first physical address. While executing a firmware update resource, the processor can remap the first logical address to the second physical address using the memory mapper and then execute the second resource from the first logical address.

    Abstract: A method includes programming first and second values and a first compare enable command into respective first operand, second operand, and first compare enable command registers in a hardware comparator circuit. The method includes determining that a first match exists corresponding to the first and second values, programming a third value into the first operand register and a fourth value into the second operand register, and programming a second compare enable command into a second compare enable command register in the hardware comparator circuit. In response to a determination that a second match exists corresponding to the third and fourth values, the method includes asserting a success interrupt signal, programming a fifth value into the first operand register and a sixth value into the second operand register and programming a second compare enable command into a second compare enable command register in the hardware comparator circuit.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, a method includes receiving a logical address from a primary device and determining an address header based on the logical address. The method also includes determining an offset value based on the address header and applying the offset value to a first portion of the logical address to create an offset address portion. The method further includes generating a physical address that includes the address header and the offset address portion and accessing a physical resource using the physical address.

    Abstract: A hardware direct memory access controller including an input port configured to receive data from an electronic device for direct memory access transfer, an output port configured to provide data for direct memory access, and processing circuitry is disclosed. The processing circuitry is configured to receive data comprising a header and payload from the electronic device via the input port, parse the header to determine data parameters including a transaction length and an input data format, and select a target destination for the data based at least in part on the data parameters. The processing circuitry is also configured to allocate memory within the target destination based at least in part on the transaction length, and to format the payload for direct memory access based at least in part on the data parameters, and to transfer the formatted payload for storage within the allocated memory within the target destination via the output port using direct memory access.

    Abstract: A system and method is disclosed that enables a peripheral or slave device to seamlessly transition in and out of sleep state while remaining completely transparent to host software. When the device is in a sleep mode and incoming data is detected, the device begins a wake-up procedure and data is routed to a first, transitional memory. The size of the transitional memory is selected such that it is capable of buffering data received during time required for the system memory to stabilize from wake-up. Once a second, extended memory is stabilized, the data is buffered from the transitional memory to the extended memory. The device resumes normal operation when its processor has initialized and can read data from the extended memory.
