Abstract
A scheduling module arranged to schedule the transmission of data from a plurality of data sources over a serial communication interface. The scheduling module comprises a register array and is arranged to selectively couple one of the data sources to the serial communication interface based at least partly on a source identifier value stored within a currently selected register within the register array. The scheduling module is further arranged to select a next sequential register within the register array upon receipt of a trigger signal.
Claims18
A scheduling module for scheduling transmission of data from a plurality of data sources over a serial communication interface, the scheduling module comprising:
- a register array, wherein the scheduling module is arranged to
- selectively couple one of the data sources to the serial communication interface based at least partly on a source identifier value stored within a currently selected register within the register array, and
- select a next sequential register within the register array upon receipt of a trigger signal.
A method of scheduling the transmission of data from a plurality of data sources over a serial communication interface, the method comprising:
- selectively coupling one of the data sources to the serial communication interface based at least partly on a source identifier value stored within a currently selected register within a register array;
- and
- selecting a next sequential register within the register array upon receipt of a trigger signal.
