Abstract
A microprocessor interface having: (i) a data rebuffering section to couple data from a one of a plurality of data ports to a data port of the microprocessor selectively in accordance with a control signal; and (ii) a main memory interface for coupling to a main memory for the microprocessor, such main memory interface being coupled to the data rebuffering section for providing control signals to the main memory section for enabling data transfer between the main memory and the microprocessor through the data rebuffering section. The main memory is a selected one of a plurality of memory types each type having a different data transfer protocol and the main memory interface is configured in accordance with the selected one of the plurality of memory types to provide a proper memory protocol to data being transferred between the microprocessor and the main memory through the main memory interface.
