Abstract
Systems-on-chip are designed with different IPs that use different data protection schemes. Modules are used between the IPs, and the modules convert between protection schemes. Protection schemes can be per-byte, word, packet, flit, or burst. Conversion can involve splitting, merging, encapsulation, conversion, and generation of redundant information. Encoding of redundancy according to protection schemes can occur directly at an IP interface or within an interconnect, such as within a packet-based NoC. Designs include SoCs, hardware description language code describing functions within SoCs, and non-transient computer readable media that store such source code.
