  • Method and apparatus for host-based validating of data transferred between a device and a host
    Patent number: 6567953
    Abstract: According to one aspect of the present invention, a method is provided in which a device, in response to a read request issued by a host, transfers data to the host through a series of direct memory access (DMA) data in bursts. The host is allowed to interrupt the read command and determine whether a first portion has been transferred correctly from the device based upon an error code calculation transmitted from the device to the host during the termination phase of a data in burst.
