    Abstract: A processor executes firmware to write control data describing transfer descriptors for a bus protocol engine to an address that is associated with a transfer descriptor buffer for the bus protocol engine. The bus protocol engine performs an operation according to the transfer descriptors with a slave device; the processor is part of a first semiconductor package; the bus protocol engine is part of a second semiconductor package other than the first semiconductor package; and the address corresponds to a memory of the second semiconductor package. A first physical interface of the first semiconductor package communicates with a second physical interface of the second semiconductor package to direct the control data to the memory.
