Abstract

Method and apparatus for communicating data between a network transceiver and memory circuitry is described. In one example, a transmit peripheral includes a streaming interface configured to receive a communication sequence having data read from the memory circuitry. A receive peripheral includes a streaming interface configured to transmit a communication sequence having data to be written to the memory circuitry. Media access control (MAC) circuitry is configured to transmit the data read from the memory circuitry to the network transceiver, and receive the data to be written to the memory circuitry from the network transceiver.
