Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to a Modular PCIe Unit (MPU), which is a single-lane PCI Express endpoint that can act as either a Stand-Alone Single-Lane or as a (one) Lane in a Multilane Endpoint Unit, composed by cascaded-MPUs. The MPU will include a PCIe link, a PCIe transition, a SoC specific and a PCIe phy that are all unique to the individual MPU. The MPUs are scalable in that a single MPU may be used or, if more MPUs are desired for higher performance, additional MPUs, each of which can be unique, added to create the Multilane Endpoint Unit.

Claim (Index 20):
A method of delivering data to a host device, comprising:\n retrieving data from a memory device; delivering a first portion of the retrieved data to a first modular PCIe unit, wherein the first modular PCIe unit has first command data that indicates the first portion of the retrieved data is less than the entire retrieved data; delivering a second portion of the retrieved data to a second modular PCIe unit, wherein the second modular PCIe unit has second command data that indicates the second portion of the retrieved data is less than the entire retrieved data; passing the entire data through an interconnection bus; delivering the first portion of the retrieved data from the first modular PCIe unit to the host device; delivering the second portion of the retrieved data from the second modular PCIe unit to the host device; sequencing all transaction layer packets (TLPs) that are generated by a PCIe transaction component; ensuring reliable delivery of TLPs between two endpoints via an acknowledgement protocol that explicitly requires replay of unacknowledged/bad TLPs; and initializing and managing all flow control credits.
