Method, apparatus and system for automatically performing end-to-end channel mapping for an interconnect

A non-transitory machine-readable medium having stored thereon instructions, which if performed by a design tool cause the design tool to perform a method comprising:

• receiving, in the design tool, communication profile information regarding a system on chip (SoC) undergoing a design process, the SoC to comprise a plurality of intellectual property (IP) logics to be interconnected by a fabric including a plurality of fabric segments, the communication profile information including, at least, source channel information for a source IP logic and sink channel information for a sink IP logic;
• performing a channel mapping between the source IP logic and the sink IP logic through the plurality of fabric segments according to the communication profile information;
• updating a data structure based on the channel mapping, to form an intermediate representation of at least a portion of the SoC;
• and
• creating a configuration file using the data structure, and fabricating the SoC using the configuration file.
