Abstract
Devices, systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with a buffer controller are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a buffer to buffer data. The apparatus further includes a status register and control logic. The control logic at least processes write commands. When the buffer is full and a write command to write data to the buffer is received, the control logic is configured to: accept the data without writing the data to the buffer, send an acknowledgment that the buffer was written, and set an overflow bit in the status register.
