Abstract

Systems-on-chip (SoCs) contain multiple interconnected and interacting components. In this paper, we present a compositional approach for the integration of multiple components with a wide range of protocol mismatches into a single SoC. We show how SoC construction can be done in single-step when all components are integrated at once or it can also be performed incrementally by adding components to an already integrated design. Using a number of AMBA IPs, we show that the proposed framework is able to perform protocol conversion in many cases where existing approaches fail.
