System and method to correct errors in data read from a source supplying streaming data

A system comprising:

• a read module configured to
• read data from a source supplying streaming data, and
• correct errors in a first portion of the data using a first error-correcting module, wherein the first error-correcting module is unable to correct errors in a second portion of the data;
• a processor configured to correct errors in the second portion of the data using a second error-correcting module,
• wherein an error-correction scheme applied by the second error-correcting module is different from the error-correction scheme applied by the first error-correcting module;
• a first-in first-out module configured to
• receive the second portion of the data,
• output, via direct memory access, the second portion of the data to a memory associated with the processor, and
• generate a first control signal based on an amount of memory available in the first-in first-out module;
• an arbiter module configured to
• adjust a priority of the processor or a priority of the first-in first-out module to access the memory based on the first control signal, and
• generate a second control signal;
• and
• a multiplexer configured to
• communicate with the processor, the memory, the first-in first-out module, and the arbiter module, and
• grant one of the processor and the first-in first-out module access to the memory based on the second control signal.

• correcting errors in a first portion of the data using a first error-correcting module, wherein the first error-correcting module is unable to correct errors in a second portion of the data;
• receiving from a first-in first-out module, via direct memory access, the second portion of the data in a memory included in a processor;
• generating a first control signal based on an amount of memory available in the first-in first-out module;
• correcting errors in the second portion of the data using a second error-correcting module, wherein an error-correction scheme applied by the second error-correcting module is different from the error-correction scheme applied by the first error-correcting module;

• and
• granting access of one of the processor and the first-in first-out module access to the memory based on the second control signal.
