Abstract: In accordance with implementations of the subject matter described herein, there is provided a solution for streaming communication between devices. In this solution, a memory of a first device comprising a ring buffer is allocated to be dedicated for storing a data stream of an application to be transmitted to a second electronic device. The application of the first device writes data to be transmitted into the ring buffer, to form a portion of the first data stream, and a write pointer of the ring buffer is thus updated. A portion of data is read based on a source memory address from the ring buffer via the interface device. The interface device also transmits the data portion to a second device. The read data portion is stored in a dedicated ring buffer of the memory. In accordance with the solution, an efficient streaming communication interface is provided between devices.
