Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting data lane mapping between a first circuitry and a second circuitry in a system. The first and second circuitry include a plurality of first and second data lanes, respectively that are mapped each other. The external device and the first circuitry are configured with a specific data pattern. A data transfer test is performed such that the specific data pattern is transferred from the external device to the first circuitry via the second data lanes. The data transfer test is performed iteratively by adjusting timing parameters for the second data lanes in the second circuitry in a pre-configured range while setting a timing parameter for a target second data lane in the second circuitry to an invalid value. Data lane mapping for the target second data lane between the first circuitry and the second circuitry is determined based on the data transfer test result.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and system to compress a data file to form a compressed data file. The data file may be used to configure control of hardware, such as peripheral hardware. The compressed data file may be stored locally or transmitted to another computer device. The compressed data file may be stored in a flash memory. The compressed data file may require less space in flash memory components, relative to flash memory suitable to hold the (original, pre-compressed) data file. Compression and/or decompression may be performed by, for example, a flash memory controller. The compressed data file may be decompressed dynamically, on an as-needed basis, to provide code for execution by a processor and/or to configure a computer device to use hardware or other components. Other software and hardware components do not need to be aware that the data file is compressed in the flash memory.
