Abstract:
An apparatus for handling resets corresponding to multiple reset domains comprises a transport network interconnecting elements to enable data to be transferred from one element to another, ingress circuitry to couple elements to the transport network, and egress circuitry to couple the transport network to the elements. The ingress circuitry couples source elements to the transport network, and is responsive to receiving data from a source element to generate at least one transport packet in order to send that data over the transport network. Each transport packet comprises a reset domain indicator indicative of the reset domain in which the source element operates. The egress circuitry couples the transport network to destination elements and, whilst a reset of a particular reset domain is asserted, discards transport packets for which the reset domain indicator indicates the particular reset domain.
