Abstract
An integrated circuit device or devices is presented that include internal connection ports to transmit data to or receive data from a first portion of the integrated circuit device. The integrated circuit device(s) also include external connection ports to transmit data to or receive data from outside the integrated circuit device, such as between integrated circuit devices. The integrated circuit device also includes remapping circuitry that remaps from a first connection between a first internal connection port of the internal connection ports and a first external connection port of the external connection ports to a second connection between a second internal connection port of the internal connection ports and a second external connection port of the external connection ports.
Claims20
A method for remapping connections between connection ports of an integrated circuit device, comprising:
- receiving data at remapping circuitry;
- remapping, via the remapping circuitry, a first connection between a first internal connection port and a first external connection port to a second connection between a second external connection port to a second external connection port;
- and
- outputting, via the remapping circuitry, at least a portion of the data to the second external connection port.
Remapping circuitry for remapping connections of an integrated circuit system, comprising:
- a plurality of control inputs;
- a first plurality of connection ports that transmit data to or receive data from a first portion of the integrated circuit system;
- a second plurality of connection ports that transmit data to or receive data from a second portion of the integrated circuit system;
- and
- routing circuitry that maps from the first plurality of connection ports and the second plurality of connection ports.
A integrated circuit system comprising:
- internal circuitry that generates or processes data;
- and
- remapping circuitry that remaps ports of the internal circuitry between the first internal circuitry and the first external circuitry, wherein the remapping circuitry remaps from a first route over an interconnector to a second route over the interconnector based on remapping control inputs received by the remapping circuitry.
