System on chip module configured for event-driven architecture
| DWPI Title: Method for integrating relevant componentry of an electronic system into a single chip, involves directing an event message to an event-driven process, or an event-driven hardware logic module of the field programmable gate array fabric |
| Abstract: A system on chip (SoC) module is described herein, wherein the SoC modules comprise a processor subsystem and a hardware logic subsystem. The processor subsystem and hardware logic subsystem are in communication with one another, and transmit event messages between one another. The processor subsystem executes software actors, while the hardware logic subsystem includes hardware actors, the software actors and hardware actors conform to an event-driven architecture, such that the software actors receive and generate event messages and the hardware actors receive and generate event messages. |
| Use: Method for integrating relevant componentry of an electronic system into a single chip. |
| Advantage: The events are efficiently passed between software actors in the processor subsystem and hardware logic modules in the hardware logic subsystem, and thus the performance efficiency of the system on chip module is enhanced. |
| Novelty: The method (600) involves directing (604) an event message to an event-driven process that is executable by a processor of the processor subsystem, or an event-driven hardware logic module of the field programmable gate array fabric. The event-driven process is executed at the processor responsive to the processor receiving the event message, when the event message is directed to the processor. The event-driven hardware logic module is triggered (608) responsive to receiving an indication that the event message is directed to the event-driven hardware logic module. |
