发明名称 COHERENCE SWITCH FOR I/O TRAFFIC
摘要 A system, apparatus, and method for routing traffic in a SoC from I/O devices to memory. A coherence switch routes coherent traffic through a coherency port on a processor complex to a real-time port of a memory controller. The coherence switch routes non-coherent traffic to a non-real time port of the memory controller. The coherence switch can also dynamically switch traffic between the two paths. The routing of traffic can be configured via a configuration register, and while software can initiate an update to the configuration register, the actual coherence switch hardware will implement the update. Software can write to a software-writeable copy of the configuration register to initiate an update to the flow path to memory for a transaction identifier. The coherence switch detects the update to the software-writeable copy, and then the coherence switch updates the working copy of the configuration register and implements the new routing.
