Configurable network-on-chip for a programmable device

Abstract:

An example programmable integrated circuit (IC) includes a processor, a plurality of endpoint circuits, a network-on-chip (NoC) having NoC master units (NMUs), NoC slave units (NSUs), NoC programmable switches (NPSs), a plurality of registers, and a NoC programming interface (NPI). The processor is coupled to the NPI and is configured to program the NPSs by loading an image to the registers through the NPI for providing physical channels between NMUs to the NSUs and providing data paths between the plurality of endpoint circuits.
