Methods, apparatus, and systems for transferring data between a first and second module are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, by a virtual controller register, outbound data; arbitrating, at a virtual arbitrate, the outbound data; transmitting, from the virtual controller register to the master low speed bus (LSB) frame/de-frame, the outbound data; adding, at the master LSB frame/de-frame, identification data to the outbound data to create an outbound data frame; transmitting, from the master LSB frame/de-frame to a slave LSB frame/de-frame, the outbound data frame; parsing, at the slave LSB frame/de-frame, the outbound data frame into parsed outbound data; arbitrating the parsed outbound data; transmitting, from the slave LSB frame/de-frame to the target controller register, the parsed outbound data; and receiving, at a target controller port from the target controller register, the parsed outbound data for transmitting to the slave device.

Low speed bus interface

A method of managing broadcasts and multicasts in a network. A packet having a packet number is received and compared to a last received packet number stored in memory. If the packet number is smaller than or equal to the last received packet number, then the packet is dropped. If the packet number is greater than the last received packet number then the packet is processed.
