Researchers and developers usually are involved in competence situations where innovations are required to remain active in the market; optimizing the embedded system design could be considered as an alternative to achieve this goal. The usage of processor input and output peripherals (I/O) to implement a communication framework scheme between processors, instead of solely addressing the physical world derives on acquired additional capabilities improving the system performance. The technology and techniques that address this enhancement rely on a process called Direct Memory Access (DMA), in which, the present work is aimed to provide an overview of what related applications are developing to upgrade the process for data transfer from the physical to the transport layer.
