摘要:
An interconnect device for transmitting data packets includes a plurality of ports, a hub, and an arbiter. The hub is configured to connect the plurality of ports together. The arbiter is coupled to the hub for controlling transmission of data packets between the hub and the ports. A reset is provided in at least one of the ports. The reset is in communication with the arbiter such that arbiter can reset the port in response to a detected error in the port.
摘要:
A method and system of communicating data between a source interconnect device and a destination interconnect device are defined. The method includes adding an identification component to the data at the source interconnect device prior to communicating the data, and extracting the identification component at the destination interconnect device. The identification component is then processed at the destination interconnect device, the identification component relating to the contents of the data. The invention extends to a machine-readable medium embodying a set of instructions for executing the method and to an interconnect device.
