Patent ID: 7730244

Claim:
A method for command translation, comprising: having a slave processor local bus bridge as part of a processor block core that is embedded in a host integrated circuit; setting a data size threshold to allow access by the slave processor local bus bridge to a crossbar switch device of the processor block core; having a master device coupled to the slave processor local bus bridge; the master device capable of having any of a plurality of command bus widths; issuing a burst command via a command bus from the master device for receipt by the slave processor local bus bridge; the command bus having a command bus width of the plurality of command bus widths; converting the burst command to a native bus width of a slave processor block coupled to receive the burst command if the command bus width is not equal to the native bus width; translating the burst command if execution of the burst command will exceed the data size threshold; passing the burst command without the translating if the execution of the burst command will not exceed the data size threshold; and requesting access by the slave processor local bus bridge to the crossbar switch device of the processor block core after all write data for the burst command is buffered in the slave processor local bus bridge responsive to the burst command being passed without the translating.
