IC MODULE AND METHOD OF DECODING RESOURCE ACCESS REQUESTS

摘要

An integrated circuit (IC) module comprising at least one memory mapped resource, at least one port arranged to be coupled to a further IC module, and an address decoding component. Upon receipt of a resource access request by the IC module, the address decoding component is arranged to extract at least one position parameter from an address field of the received resource access request, determine if the at least one position parameter indicates a target resource as residing within the IC module, and if it is determined that the at least one position parameter indicates the target resource as not residing within the IC module, modify the at least one position parameter to represent a change of one position and forward the resource access request with the modified position parameter over the port to the further IC module.

1. An integrated circuit, IC, module comprising:
at least one memory mapped resource; at least one port arranged to be coupled to at least one further IC module; and at least one address decoding component, wherein, upon receipt of a resource access request by the IC module, the at least one address decoding component is arranged to: extract at least one position parameter from an address field of the received resource access request, determine if the at least one position parameter indicates a target resource as residing within the IC module, and if it is determined that the at least one position parameter indicates the target resource as not residing within the IC module, modify the at least one position parameter to represent a change of one position and forward the resource access request with the modified at least one position parameter over the at least one port to the at least one further IC module.
