The SoC (System on Chip) uses AMBA (Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture) as an on-chip bus. APB (Advanced Peripheral Bus) is one of the components ...

One challenge with purchasing third-party IPs is that, over time, multiple interconnect protocols have been defined and adopted by the SoC industry (OCP, APB, AHB, AXI, STBus, DTL, etc.).

The front-end design focuses on the logical and functional aspects, such as which IPs to use, how to connect them, and how to architect the network to ensure expected throughput and latency. The ...
