Abstract:
A method of managing external terminals of a module having a multidimensional cell structure, at least one of the external terminals being configured to communicatively couple to at least one corresponding terminal of at least one external module, an internal bus system communicatively coupled to the cell structure and to the external terminals of the module, the method comprising:assigning a unit to at least one of the internal bus system and a group of lines; generating protocols for at least one of the external module and an external bus, the protocols being generated by the unit; generating an address for the at least one of the external module and the external bus, the address being generated by the unit; and controlling a synchronization of the multidimensional cell structure with at least one of the external module and the external bus, the synchronization being controlled by the unit.
