Abstract:
An integrated circuit (IC) includes a bridge circuit configured to receive a first request from an external system, a discover circuit coupled to the bridge circuit and configured to process the first request received from the bridge circuit, and a memory map coupled to the discover circuit. The memory map stores a record for each of a plurality of Intellectual Property (IP) blocks implemented within the IC. The discover circuit is configured to generate a list of the IP blocks implemented within the IC from the records of the memory map responsive to the first request. The bridge circuit is configured to send the list to the external system.
