Interconnect isolation system and method for isolating interconnect

Abstract

An interconnect isolation system includes a shared memory, at least one processing circuit, and an interconnect. The at least one processing circuit is arranged to execute a plurality of virtual machines (VMs). The interconnect is shared by the plurality of VMs, and includes at least one interconnect node and a timeout detector. The at least one interconnect node includes at least one transmission circuit, wherein each of the at least one transmission circuit comprises a plurality of virtual links, the plurality of VMs are mapped to the plurality of virtual links, and each of the plurality of VMs transmits a transaction to the shared memory through a mapped virtual link. The timeout detector is arranged to generate a trigger signal according to timeout information, wherein the timeout information indicates one of the plurality of virtual links is at an error state.
