Abstract
An interface includes a first hardware register field to store respective chunks of a command directed to a device and respective chunks of a response to the command from the device. The interface also includes a second hardware register field to store a size of the command and a size of the response. The first and second hardware register fields are accessible by the device and by a processor external to the device that generates the command, in response to memory not being available to buffer the command and the response.
