  • Publication number: 20160342545
    Abstract: A data memory device has a command transfer direct memory access (DMA) engine configured to obtain a command that is generated by an external apparatus to give a data transfer instruction from a memory of the external apparatus; obtain specifics of the instruction; store the command in a command buffer; obtain a command number that identifies the command being processed; and activate a transfer list generating DMA engine by transmitting the command number depending on the specifics of the instruction of the command. The transfer list generating DMA engine is configured to: identify, based on the command stored in the command buffer, an address in the memory to be transferred between the external apparatus and the data memory device; and activate the data transfer DMA engine by transmitting the address to the data transfer DMA engine which then transfers the data to/from the memory based on the received address.
