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 22):
A method of receiving data, comprising:\n receiving a first portion of data from a host device through a first phy of a first modular PCIe unit; receiving a second portion of data from the host device through a second phy of a second modular PCIe unit; passing the first portion of the data and the second portion of the data through an interconnection bus; sending a first portion of retrieved data to the first modular PCIe unit, wherein the first modular PCIe unit has first command data that indicates the retrieved data is less than the retrieved data; sending a second portion of the retrieved data to the 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 retrieved data; and writing data from the first modular PCIe unit and second modular PCIe unit to a memory device, wherein at least one of the first modular PCIe unit and the second modular PCIe unit is configured to:\n sequence all transaction layer packets (TLPs) that are generated by a PCIe transaction component; \n ensure reliable delivery of TLPs between two endpoints via an acknowledgement protocol that explicitly requires replay of unacknowledged/bad TLPs; and \n initialize and manage all flow control credits.
