DMA transfer of audio and video data. The audio and video data may be received over a serial bus. A DMA engine may provide audio and video data packets to data storage logic based on the audio and video data. The DMA engine may provide each of the audio data packets with a first, same destination address of a first memory and may provide each of the video data packets with a second, same destination address of the first memory. The data storage logic may maintain first and second pointers that indicate a next current memory location for audio data in a first buffer and video data in a second buffer in the first memory, respectively. The data storage logic may receive and store the audio and video data packets at respective locations in the first and second buffers based on current values of the first and second pointers.

Performing DMA transfer of audio and video data received over a serial bus

A system and method for detecting defective pixels in a sensor. A plurality of pixel values of the sensor may be detected. The values may include those of a first pixel and each nearest neighboring pixel to the first pixel. A second pixel may have the highest value of the neighboring pixels. A third pixel may have the next highest value of the neighboring pixels. A first function may be performed on the second pixel value, producing a first output value. A second function may be performed on the third pixel value, producing a second output value. If the first pixel value is higher than the first output value, or, if the first pixel value is higher than the second output value and the second pixel value is higher than the second output value, it may be determined that the first pixel is defective.
