Abstract :
A matrix of configurable logic is implemented with a dedicated internal system bus extending throughout, linking user-designed slaves with an embedded processor system. This complete, yet open, system on a chip is designed for soft extension of the hardware by an application developer. A structure was developed that provides a simple user interface yet reliably delivers design performance after being integrated throughout programmable logic
