Abstract
A buffer circuit for rotating outstanding transactions. A buffer circuit includes a buffer and a command update circuit. The buffer may be configured to store packet commands that belong to a respective virtual channel of a plurality of virtual channels. The packets may be stored in the buffer to await transmission upon a peripheral bus. Once a given packet is selected for transmission, a peripheral bus cycle corresponding to the given packet command may be generated upon the peripheral bus. The command update circuit may be configured to generate a modified packet command in response to receiving a partial completion indication associated with the peripheral bus cycle. The command update circuit may also be configured to cause the modified packet command to be stored within the buffer.
