A reusable hardware IP protocol method for designing a system-on-chip device.

摘要

A reusable hardware intellectual property (IP) component protocol method for a system-on-chip is disclosed, which uses a software function to describe hardware behaviour. A calling of the software corresponds to hardware IP component's execution, and the procedure of the software function corresponds to the behaviour of the hardware IP. Therefore, the hardware IP can be reused as a software function.
