摘要： A serial buffer includes a first port configured to implement an serial rapid I/O (sRIO) protocol and a second port configured to implement a Lite-weight serial (Lite) protocol. SRIO packets received on the first port are translated into Lite request packets compatible with the Lite protocol. The Lite request packets are transmitted to the second port. Lite response packets compatible with the Lite protocol are returned to the second port in response to the Lite request packets. The Lite response packets are translated into sRIO response packets compatible with the sRIO protocol. These sRIO response packets are returned to the first port, thereby providing a mechanism to acknowledge successful transmissions from the first port to the second port. Unsuccessful transmissions are identified by a timeout mechanism. The serial buffer also enables transfers from the second port to the first port in a similar manner.

摘要： Within a serial buffer, request packets are written to available memory blocks of a memory buffer, which are identified by a free buffer pointer list. When a request packet is written to a memory block, the memory block is removed from the free buffer pointer list, and added to a used buffer pointer list. Memory blocks in the used buffer pointer list are read, thereby transmitting the associated request packets from the serial buffer. When a request packet is read from a memory block, the memory block is removed from the used buffer pointer list and added to a request buffer pointer list. If a corresponding response packet is received within a timeout period, the memory block is transferred from the request buffer pointer list to the free buffer pointer list. Otherwise, the memory block is transferred from the request buffer pointer list to the used buffer pointer list.

摘要： A serial buffer includes a first port configured to operate in accordance with a first serial protocol and a second port configured to operate in accordance with a second serial protocol. A first translation circuit of the serial buffer allows packets received on the first port to be translated to the second serial protocol, and then transferred to the second port. A second translation circuit of the serial buffer allows packets received on the second port to be translated to the first serial protocol, and then transferred to the first port. Translations may be performed in response to information included in the headers of the received packets, including source ID values, destination ID values and/or case number values.

摘要： A serial buffer monitors an incoming stream of packets to identify single missing packets and multiple consecutive missing packets. Upon detecting multiple consecutive missing packets, an interrupt is generated, thereby stopping the data transfer. Upon detecting a single missing packet, a single missing packet identifier is inserted into the packet header of the packet that resulted in identification of the single missing packet. The incoming packets, including any inserted single missing packet identifiers, are written to a queue. When the water level reaches the water mark of the queue, the stored packets are read to create an outgoing packet stream. When a packet read from the queue includes an inserted single missing packet identifier, a dummy packet (e.g., a packet having a data payload of all zeros) is inserted into the outgoing packet stream. As a result, real-time applications are capable of processing the outgoing packet stream in a constant fashion.

摘要： A multi-port serial buffer having a plurality of queues is configured to include a first set of queues assigned to store write data associated with a first port, and a second set of queues assigned to store write data associated with a second port. The available queues are user-assignable to either the first set or the second set. Write operations to the first set of queues can be performed in parallel with write operations to the second programmable set of queues. In addition, a first predetermined set of queues is assigned to the first port for read operations, and a second predetermined set of queues is assigned to the second port for read operations. Data can be read from the first predetermined set of queues to the first port at the same time that data is read from the second predetermined set of queues to the second port.

摘要： A system and method for using a doorbell command to allow sRIO devices to operate as bus masters to retrieve data packets stored in a serial buffer, without requiring the SRIO devices to specify the sizes of the data packets. The serial buffer includes a plurality of queues that store data packets. A doorbell frame request packet identifies the queue to be accessed within the serial buffer, but does not specify the size of the data packet(s) to be retrieved. Upon detecting a doorbell frame request packet, the serial buffer operates as a bus master to transfer the requested data packets out of the selected queue. The selected queue can be configured to operate in a flush mode or a non-flush mode. The serial buffer may also indicate that a received doorbell frame request has attempted to access an empty queue.

摘要： Status/error reporting is implemented using a doorbell system. A plurality of flag registers are included on a system device, such as a serial buffer. Each flag register has a corresponding address, and stores a plurality of flags. A flag scan controller accesses the flag registers in a predetermined priority order, using the flag register addresses. Upon detecting that one or more of the flags of a flag register are activated, the flag scan controller causes a doorbell command to be generated. The doorbell command includes the flag register address and the corresponding flags. A system processor receives the doorbell command and services the activated flags. Once the activated flags are serviced, the system processor performs one or more software write operations to clear the flags within the system device. The system processor can simultaneously service multiple flags. The system processor can also simultaneously clear multiple flags.

摘要： A multi-queue memory system is configured to operate in a packet mode. Each packet includes a SOP (start of packet) marker and an EOP (end of packet) marker. A packet status bit (PSB), is used to implement the packet mode. The packet status bit enables partial packet write and partial packet read operations, such that a queue switch can be performed in the middle of packet write or packet read operations. The packet status bit also enables data filtering to be performed between an activated EOP marker and a subsequently received SOP marker (i.e., between the end of one packet and the start of the next packet). Packet mark and re-write and packet mark and re-read operations are also enabled.
