Abstract

A multimedia streaming and network apparatus that includes a flash memory, a network module, an access module and a multimedia streaming module is provided. The network module includes a network processing circuit. The access module includes a flash memory controller and an access circuit. The flash memory controller controls and accesses the flash memory. The access circuit includes a network processing storage circuit, a command and data transmission circuit and an interface converting circuit. The command and data transmission circuit performs transmission of command and data between the processing storage circuit and the network processing circuit. The interface converting circuit performs transmission and interface conversion between the network processing storage circuit and the flash memory controller. The multimedia streaming module accesses the flash memory through the flash memory controller.
