Abstract

A bridge has a first interface that receives a request through a first bus from a requestor that request to read data, and a second interface that forwards the request through a second bus to a device that connects to a memory. The device obtains the requested data from the memory and forwards to the bridge, which then sends the data to the requestor in an appropriate manner.
