Abstract

A circuit for enabling access to data is described. The circuit comprises a memory device storing data blocks having a first predetermined size; and a direct memory access circuit coupled to the memory device, the direct memory circuit accessing a data payload having a second predetermined size which is greater than the first predetermined size; wherein the direct memory access circuit accesses the data payload in response to a descriptor having a plurality of addresses corresponding to a predetermined number of the data blocks stored in the memory device. A method of enabling the access to data is also disclosed.
