Abstract:
1. A system-on-chip (SoC) comprising: an adapter adapted on a semiconductor die to communicate with a first component in a manner compatible with a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) protocol and to communicate with a first interface in a manner compatible with a second protocol; the first interface adapted on the semiconductor die to perform a conversion of a PCI transaction to a second transaction, perform address translation and translate between a re-locatable address and a fixed address; and an interconnect adapted on the 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 an interface logic, wherein the SoC is to operate in a manner compatible with the PCI protocol and the IP core is to operate in a manner compatible with the second protocol.
