Abstract: Methods and systems for efficient data movement between various components in an image processing system are described. In a first mode, a dedicated data bus is configured for direct transmission of image data between the ISP core and the video core and/or display core. Using this bus, the video core and/or display core can request data from the ISP core. The ISP core transmits data to the video core and/or display core in response to the request. If the video core is unable to process incoming data from the ISP core at the rate at which data are generated by the ISP, it can apply backpressure to the ISP core to pause transmission of data, e.g., by not consuming data transmitted from the ISP core. The data transmission is performed using a cache memory or buffer as an intermediatory, in a second mode.
