ABSTRACT:
Embodiments are provided in which a method is described for transferring data in a digital system comprising a first bus, a second bus, and a bridge coupling the first and second buses. During system initialization, an initialization program collects system information of the digital system. Then, based on the system information of the digital system, the initialization program determines a buffered packet size and configures the bridge with the buffered packet size. After system initialization, the bridge transfers data from the first bus to the second bus via the bridge according to the buffered packet size.
