Abstract

An interface module for a logic circuit block comprising a processing module, the interface module comprising a control interface for communicating one or more control messages; a data interface for accessing a data storage device; an interface logic block; and a core interface to the processing module, the core interface being connected to the interface logic block for communicating signals between the interface logic block and the processing module. The interface logic block is adapted to receive one or more incoming control message via the control interface; process the one or more control messages including accessing a data storage device via the data interface, initiating processing by the processing module via the core interface, receiving one or more signals from the processing module via the core interface; and to output one or more outgoing control message via the control interface.
