Aspects of a method and system for dynamically programmable serial/parallel bus interface may include performing in a first communication device coupled to a communication bus, attaching communication protocol information to a data signal for each data transaction with one or more other communication devices communicatively coupled to the communication bus. The one or more other communication devices may be controlled utilizing the attached communication protocol information. The communication protocol information may be dynamically adjusted and/or adaptively adjusted. The communication bus may be a serial or parallel communication bus. The serial communication bus may be a two-wire, three-wire, or four-wire bus. The attached communication protocol information comprises a multi-wire protocol, a 3-wire protocol, a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) protocol, a System Power Management Interface (SPMI), or an RF Bus protocol.

Method and system for dynamically programmable serial/parallel bus interface

A method and system for ciphering interface with list processing is described. Various aspects of a system for ciphering interface with list processing may include a cipher module that enables deciphering and/or bit stuffing, in hardware, of a potion of one of a plurality of data blocks starting at any bit location that is subsequent to a first bit of the one of the plurality of data blocks. One of the plurality of data blocks may comprise at least one data word. A modulus of a number representing the bit location with respect to a number of bits in the one of the data words may be a number greater than 0. The cipher module may enable selection of any bit location based on and index and/or an offset. The cipher module may enable selection of deciphering and/or bit stuffing based on configured information.
