Abstract:
1. A system-on-chip (SoC) comprising: an adapter adapted on a single semiconductor die to communicate with a first component according to a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) protocol and to communicate with a first interface according to a second protocol corresponding to a point-to-point (PtP) protocol; the first interface adapted on the single semiconductor die to perform a conversion of a PCI transaction to a PtP transaction, perform address translation and translate between a re-locatable address and a fixed address; and an interconnect adapted on the single semiconductor die to couple the first interface to a plurality of heterogeneous resources via a corresponding one of a plurality of physical units, each of the plurality of heterogeneous resources including an intellectual property (IP) core and a shim, wherein the SoC is to operate according to the PCI protocol and the IP core is to operate according to the second protocol.
