Abstract
A method and apparatus for pseudo aligned transfers to memory for processors, peripherals and memories. Alignment logic, typically coupled to a peripheral, receives a plurality of data bytes from a processor. The alignment logic uses a control header transferred with the data bytes to determine whether the data bytes require re-alignment. To effect re-alignment, the alignment logic combines, rotates, and masks the data bytes as indicated by the control header.
