ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus of managing a multi-channel direct memory access (DMA) operation in which a sequence of data frames are received at a controller that controls a DMA transfer. The data frames are placed in data buffers in a memory by the controller. Multiple data frames are stored by the controller in at least one of the data buffers. The storing of multiple data frames in a single buffer provides efficient utilization of memory space as large size buffers are used to hold more than a single data frame, and also reduces the management overhead involved in placing the data frames in the data buffers.
