Rx Per Channel Buffers implement a logical FIFO for each source DMA channel that is used for buffering payload data that has been fetched by the Rx DMA units. The buffers are byte oriented on write so that the data from the Rx DMA units which may not be full words can be packed properly. The buffers are word oriented on read in accordance with the transport mechanism outlined in the PSI-L Interface specification. Each channel in the Rx DMA controller maps directly onto a thread in the Rx PSI-L interface. The Rx Per Channel Buffer block outputs queue fullness information to the scheduler block which it then uses to determine when it should initiate DMA opportunities to backfill the buffers. The Rx Per Channel Buffer will initiate transfers to the remote paired thread whenever any data is available in each channel buffer and credits are available in the corresponding thread. The block will simultaneously monitor the status of all of the threads and will perform a round robin arbitration between the different threads for the use of the Rx PSI-L interface. Each thread for which the target is indicating it can accept data and which currently has data available in the channel buffer will be included in the arbitration.
