Abstract

A computing device, including a processor; a memory, wherein the memory is accessible for memory operations via a range of logical memory addresses; a peripheral interface including a first control register; and a peripheral address remapping module configured to determine that the peripheral interface is unused for interfacing with a peripheral; determine a first memory address for accessing the first control register; determine a first logical memory address, the first logical memory address outside of the range of logical memory addresses for accessing the memory; and map the first logical memory address to the first memory address, wherein the first control register is accessible for memory operations using the first logical memory address.
