Abstract
A method includes receiving a linear address for accessing a multiple-bank memory, determining a first bit location of the linear address based on a first register value, and providing a bank identifier based on a value at the first bit location of the linear address. Another method includes receiving, at a memory controller coupled to a multiple-bank memory, input indicating a mapping of values at identified bit locations of a linear address to corresponding values of a memory address output. The memory address output includes a bank identifier based on a value at one or more of at least three bit locations of the linear address and a value of the input is programmable.
