ABSTRACT:
A system includes first memory for storing data and a processing core for executing software instructions on the data that is received from the first memory. The system also includes a peripheral device configured to communicate with the processing core through a peripheral control module. The peripheral control module, also referred to as a peripheral control device, includes second memory. The peripheral control module also includes a comparator for governing data transfer transactions, without interrupting the processing core, based on a comparison. The comparator therefore compares expected responses to command sequences and received responses to the command sequences. The command sequences and responses to command sequences are associated with data packets to be exchanged between the first memory and the peripheral device.
