1. A serial buffer comprising:

  • one or more queues;

    one or more queue configuration registers, each associated with a corresponding one of the one or more queues,wherein each of the one or more queue configuration registers stores an access mode value that indicates whether the corresponding one of the one or more queues operates in a packet mode or a raw data mode,wherein each of the one or more queues may operate in the packet mode and the raw data mode in response to the access mode value, andwherein both a packet header and corresponding packet data are written to a queue identified in the packet header if the access mode value of the identified queue indicates that the identified queue operates in the packet mode, and only the corresponding packet data are written to the queue identified in the packet header if the access mode value of the identified queue indicates that the identified queue operates in the raw data mode.
