Programmable NOC conforming to multiple interface communication protocols

摘要

Embodiments of the present specification describe a SoC including programmable NOC (105) that may be reconfigured to support different interface communication protocols.In one embodiment, the NOC allows the hardware elements in SOC (e.g., processor (410), memory (415), programmable logic blocks (405), etc.) to transmit and receive data using NOC Includes an approach logic block (115) and a withdrawal logic block (140).The approach logic block and the withdrawal logic block may be configured to initially support a particular communication protocol for interface with the hardware element.However, later, the user may desire to reconfigure the approach logic block and the withdrawal logic block to support different communication protocols.In response, the SOC may reconfigure the NOC to support the new communication protocol used by the hardware element, as the approach logical block and the leaving logic block.In this manner, the programmable NOC can support multiple communication protocols used to interface with other hardware elements in the SOC.Diagram
