Buffer Access Paths
The HFA3841 has two independent buffer access paths,
which permits concurrent read and write transfers. The
firmware provides dynamic memory allocation between
Transmit and Receive, allowing efficient memory utilization.
On-the-fly allocation of (128-byte) memory blocks as needed
for reception wastes minimal space when receiving
fragments. The HFA3841 hides management of free
memory from the driver, and allows fast response and
minimum data copying for low latency. The firmware
provides direct access to TX and RX buffers based on
Frame ID (FID). This facilitates Power Management queuing,
and allows dynamic fragmentation and defragmentation by
controller. Simple Allocate/Deallocate commands insure low
host CPU overhead for memory management.
Hardware buffer chaining provides high performance while
reading and writing buffers. Data is transferred between the
host driver and the HFA3841 by writing or reading a single
register location (The Buffer Access Path, or BAP). Each
access increments the address in the buffer memory.
Internally, the firmware allocates blocks of memory as
needed to provide the requested buffer size. These blocks
may not be contiguous, but the firmware builds a linked list of
pointers between them. When the host driver is transferring
data through a buffer access path and reaches the end of a
physical memory block, hardware in the host interface
follows the linked list so that the buffer access path points to
the beginning of the next memory block. This process is
completely transparent to the host driver, which simply
writes or reads all buffer data to the same register. If the host
driver attempts to access beyond the end of the allocated
buffer, subsequent writes are ignored, and reads will be
undefined.
