Abstract

A method of data streaming in a streaming system (200) that comprises a processor (202) and a controller (204) operably coupled to a streaming peripheral (214) via a shared interconnect (206) is described. The method comprises at the controller, receiving at least one descriptor that points to at least one header data element in memory and at least one payload buffer element in the streaming peripheral (214); reading the at least one descriptor (211) by the controller (204); fetching by the controller the at least one header data element from memory and the at least one payload element from the payload buffer (212) in the streaming peripheral (214) referred to by the descriptor (211).
