Abstract

Data transmission systems and methods. The data transmission system comprises a bus, a slave, a master, and a master interface. The master transmits a request comprising transfer information comprising a start address and a length. The master interface receives the request from the master. The master interface determines a burst type of a first burst according to the transfer information, and transmits the first burst with the burst type to the slave via the bus, where the first burst is aligned to at least one address boundary of the slave. The master interface receives data corresponding to the first burst from the slave, and transmits the data to the master.
