ABSTRACT:
A data transfer device has a input circuit for receiving a data block of a data structure including data elements of different lengths in each set data length from a transfer source, a converter for assembling data received by the input circuit into data elements and converting the structure of the assembled data elements to endian format for a memory, an output circuit for providing to a memory, data elements which have been structurally converted by the converter for each set data length. The device further has a first register for storing a data structure for transmitted data blocks, a second register for storing transfer source endians and transfer destination endians, and a controller for controlling the assembly process for the converter according to the data structure stored in the first register, for controlling the conversion process for the converter according to endian formats stored in the second register, and for controlling the input and output of data for the input circuit and for the output circuit.
