Abstract:
Embodiments herein describe a SoC that includes a programmable NoC that can be reconfigured to support different interface communication protocols. In one embodiment, the NoC includes ingress and egress logic blocks which permit hardware elements in the SoC (e.g., processors, memory, programmable logic blocks, etc.) to transmit and receive data using the NoC. The ingress and egress logic blocks may first be configured to support a particular communication protocol for interfacing with the hardware elements. However, at a later time, the user may wish to reconfigure the ingress and egress logic blocks to support a different communication protocol. In response, the SoC can reconfigure the NoC such that the ingress and egress logic blocks support the new communication protocol used by the hardware elements. In this manner, the programmable NoC can support multiple communication protocols used to interface with other hardware elements in the SoC.

Claim (Index 12):
The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:\n receiving first data at the ingress logic block from the first logic block, wherein the first data is compatible with the first interface communication protocol; converting the first data into a first packet using the first encoder; routing the first packet to the egress logic block using a plurality of switches in the NoC; converting the first packet into second data compatible with the first interface communication protocol using the first decoder; and forwarding the second data to the second logic block.
