Claims30
A method for transferring data between a memory and peripheral units, the method comprising:
- assigning priorities to the data to be transferred;
- and
- transferring the data by direct memory access (DMA) control between the memory and the peripheral units in conformity with the priorities assigned in each case.
A direct memory access (DMA) controller comprising:
- transfer section configured to transfer data between a memory and peripheral units, wherein the data to be transferred has assigned priorities;
- and
- prioritization controller configured to control the transfer of the data between the memory and the peripheral units in conformity with the priorities assigned in each case.
A system for transferring data between a memory and peripheral units, the system comprising:
- means for assigning priorities to the data to be transferred;
- and
- means for transferring the data by direct memory access (DMA) control between the memory and the peripheral units in conformity with the priorities assigned in each case.
A data transfer network comprising:
- a direct memory access (DMA) controller including:
- transfer section configured to transfer data between a memory and peripheral units, wherein the data to be transferred has assigned priorities;
- and
- prioritization controller configured to control the transfer of the data between the memory and the peripheral units in conformity with the priorities assigned in each case.
