Abstract:
Methods and systems for enumerating digital circuits in a system-on-a-chip (SOC) are disclosed. The method includes incrementing an enumeration value received from a previous enumerable instance to uniquely identify an immediately adjacent enumerable instance of a plurality of enumerable instances in a daisy chain configuration.

Claim (Index 1):
A method, comprising:\n holding output signals of a first enumerable instance for a plurality of full cycles thereby allowing each successive enumerable instance of a plurality of enumerable instances to be instantiated with an ENABLE signal, asynchronously, without affecting incrementing of the each successive enumerable instance; and providing an enumeration value at the first enumerable instance that uniquely identifies the first enumerable instance; wherein: the enumeration value is provided by signaling protocol, independent of the ENABLE signal reaching each enumerable instance of the plurality of enumerable instances across an asynchronous boundary crossing, and the holding the output signals comprises asserting a FIRST_DETECT signal at an output port of the first enumerable instance in response to the ENABLE signal transitioning from a value of 0 to 1.
