Translation of boot code read request commands from an on-board processor of a system on a chip (SoC) from a bus protocol (e.g., advanced high-performance bus (AHB) protocol) into a sequence of commands understandable by a serial interface of the SoC to read boot code from an off-board (e.g., flash or other non-volatile) memory device. The serial interface of the memory device may include a relatively low pin count (e.g., 5 pins) and boot code of the memory device may be modified after tape-out of the SoC free of necessitating a subsequent tape-out of the SoC.

An address range expander associated with a processor and a physical memory device determines that address transformation has been enabled with respect to an address indicated on the processor's address bus. The expander generates, using one or more address expansion parameter registers, a transformed address corresponding to the untransformed address within an address range of the physical memory device, and transmits the transformed address to a controller of the physical memory device.

A video processing device () includes a bitstream accelerator module () and a video processing engine (). The bitstream accelerator module () has an input for receiving a stream of encoded video data, and an output adapted to be coupled to a memory () for storing partially decoded video data. The bitstream accelerator module () partially decodes the stream of encoded video data according to a selected one of a plurality of video formats to provide the partially decoded video data. The video processing engine () has input adapted to be coupled to the memory () for reading the partially decoded video data, and an output for providing decoded video data.
