Abstract:
A peripheral interconnect for configuring slave endpoint circuits, such as may be in a configurable network, in a system-on-chip (SoC) is described herein. In an example, an apparatus includes a processing system on a chip, a circuit block on the chip, and a configurable network on the chip. The processing system and the circuit block are connected to the configurable network. The configurable network includes a peripheral interconnect. The peripheral interconnect includes a root node and a plurality of switches. The root node and the plurality of switches are connected in a tree topology. First branches of the tree topology are connected to respective slave endpoint circuits of the configurable network. The slave endpoint circuits of the configurable network are programmable to configure the configurable network.

Claim (Index 10):
A method for operating an integrated circuit, the method comprising:\n receiving a first transaction request at a root node on a chip from a master circuit on the chip; transmitting a second transaction request from the root node to a tree topology comprising switches on the chip, the second transaction request corresponding to the first transaction request and comprising a destination identification of a slave endpoint circuit to which the first transaction request is directed; receiving the second transaction request at at least one switch in the tree topology; for each of the at least one switch that receives the second transaction request, determining on which subsequent branch of the tree topology to transmit the second transaction request based on the destination identification; and for each of the at least one switch that receives the second transaction request, transmitting the second transaction request on the determined subsequent branch of the tree topology, wherein each branch of the tree topology is connected to a respective slave endpoint circuit, at least some of the slave endpoint circuits being configurable components of a configurable network on the chip.
