Abstract
A method for providing frame start indication that includes receiving a data transfer via a channel in a memory system. The receiving is in response to a request, and at an indeterminate time relative to the request. It is determined whether the data transfer includes a frame start indicator. The data transfer and 'n' subsequent data transfers are captured in response to determining that the data transfer includes a frame start indicator. The data transfer and the 'n' subsequent data transfers make up a data frame, where “n” is greater than zero.
