Microcontroller peripheral data transfer redirection for resource sharing

A device comprising:

• a master module;
• a peripheral module;
• a system bus that is configured to process an instruction from the master module for transfer of data associated with the peripheral module;
• and
• a data processing module that is coupled to the system bus, the data processing module configured to perform operations comprising:
• detecting, on the system bus, an indication that the data to be transferred is to be processed by the data processing module before being received at its destination;
• based on the detection, performing the transfer of the data to the data processing module;
• processing the data;
• and
• placing the processed data on the system bus.

A method comprising:

• receiving, at a system bus, an instruction from a master module for a transfer of data associated with a peripheral module;
• determining, by the system bus, that the data to be transferred is to be processed by the data processing module before being received at its destination;
• and
• based on the determination that the data is to be processed by the data processing module, redirecting the transfer to the data processing module.
