Connectivity controller with enhanced throughput in an embedded system

A method of transmitting packets between a host controller of a computing system and a device controller of a device embedded in the computing system, wherein the host controller includes a host protocol layer and a host link layer, and wherein the device controller includes a device protocol layer and a device link layer, wherein the device is configured to communicate with the host in conformity with a connectivity standard, the method comprising:

• setting a host register disposed in the host link layer;
• setting a device register disposed in the device link layer;
• inhibiting, by a processor, in response to setting of the device register, the device link layer from performing an integrity check on a first packet received from the host link layer and using a first cyclic redundancy check (CRC) value of the first packet, wherein the CRC value is computed by and disposed in the first packet by the host link layer;
• and
• invoking, in response to the device register being set, the device protocol layer to perform the integrity check on the first packet.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising stored instructions, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• set a host register disposed in a host controller of a computing system, wherein the host controller comprises a host protocol layer and a host link layer;
• set a device register disposed in a device controller embedded in the computing system, wherein the device controller comprises a device protocol layer and a device link layer, and wherein the host controller and the device controller are configured to communicate in conformity with a connectivity standard;
• inhibit, in response to setting of the device register, the device link layer from performing an integrity check on a first packet received from the host link layer and using a first cyclic redundancy check (CRC) value of the first packet, wherein the CRC value is computed by and disposed in the first packet by the host link layer;
• and
• invoke, in response to the device register being set, the device protocol layer to perform the integrity check on the first packet.
