1. A system comprising:
a first system-on-chip (SoC), wherein the first system-on-chip (SoC) includes
(i) a first module, and(ii) a second module that is separate from the first module, wherein the second module is in communication with the first module via a first bus, and wherein the first bus is internal to the first system-on-chip (SoC); and a second system-on-chip (SoC) that is separate from the first system-on-chip (SoC), wherein the second system-on-chip (SoC) is in communication with the first system-on-chip (SoC) via a second bus, and wherein the second bus is external to both the first system-on-chip (SoC) and the second system-on-chip (SoC), wherein
the first bus and the second bus are configured to use a same communication protocol to respectively transfer information (i) between the first module and the second module via the first bus and internally within the first system-on-chip (SoC), (ii) between the first module and the second bus, and (iii) between the first system-on-chip (SoC) and the second system-on-chip (SoC) via the second bus,the transferring of the information using the same communication protocol includes (i) transferring the information at a same data rate, or (ii) transferring the information based on a same clock frequency,the first module is connected in series between the first bus and the second bus and isolates the second module from the second bus, andthe second module is configured to convert the information into a predetermined format for transmission over the first bus including packetizing the information to generate one or more packets. |
