Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立清華大學 === 資訊工程學系 === 92 === System-on-chip (SOC) design relies on reuse of pre-designed and pre-varified hardware devices, also called intellectual properties (IPs). We choose the most popular on-chip bus standard, AMBA (Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture), as our communication interface protocol. We propose a kind of layered integration methodology to integrate IPs into AMBA-based SOC system. Engineers can follow the methodology to integrate IPs into AMBA-based SOC system without AMBA protocol know-how. This integration has better performance than DMA-based integration. The methodology reduces half of data transfer on bus compare with DMA. We demonstrate the proposed methodology with a JPEG decoder and a JPEG2000 encoder case.
