Multiple peripherals implementing the protocols described so far are usually integrated in microcontrollers, which means that the associated serial bus can be directly connected to specific pins of the microcontrollers. The peripherals can be enabled through clock gating, and controlled by accessing configuration registries mapped in the peripheral region in the memory space. The pins connected to serial buses must also be configured to implement the corresponding alternate function, and the interrupt lines involved should be configured to be handled in the vector table.
Some microcontrollers, including our reference platform, support Direct Memory Access (DMA) to speed up memory operations between the peripheral ...
