Process

I had a behavioral interview with HR and then a technical interview on call. The technical interviewer seemed very distracted and said yes to my assumptions, but then later corrected himself after I had completely coded it up.

Questions

Question about DMA controller where there are $x$ bytes of $n$ write streams to $y$ bytes of $m$ memory addresses, i.e., write 8 bytes and 4 bytes to addr 1 with size of 5, addr 2 of size 5, and addr 3 of size 2.
