Abstract
Embodiments are directed towards a method to create a reconfigurable interconnect framework in an integrated circuit. The method includes accessing a configuration template directed toward the reconfigurable interconnect framework, editing parameters of the configuration template, functionally combining the configuration template with a plurality of modules from an IP library to produce a register transfer level (RTL) circuit model, generating at least one automated test-bench function, and generating at least one logic synthesis script. Editing parameters of the configuration template includes confirming a first number of output ports of a reconfigurable stream switch and confirming a second number of input ports of the reconfigurable stream switch. Each output port and each input port has a respective architectural composition. The output port architectural composition is defined by a plurality of N data paths including A data outputs and B control outputs. The input port architectural composition is defined by a plurality of M data paths including A data inputs and B control inputs.
