Modem hardware abstraction layer (MHAL) on-chip bus packet router

摘要

A system and related method for routing Modem Hardware Abstraction Layer (MHAL) On-Chip Bus (MOCB) protocol data communications between a first system on a chip (SoC) device and at least one second SoC device abstracts the physical layer across one or more physical devices via one or more packet routers, the packet routers capable of receiving MOCB commands and responses and generating data packets based on the commands and responses, the data packets having a first word indicating the destination device. Other packet routers determine the destination of inbound data packets, and whether to bypass or receive the data packets, based on the first word (without having to fully decode the data packets) and deserialize received packets into MOCB commands and responses, forwarding the commands or responses to the intended destination SoC device.
