Control device for a system-on-chip and corresponding method

A method of controlling the operation of a system comprising:

• providing an interconnection network;
• providing a set of initiator modules for transmitting data towards said interconnection network and at least one communication arbiter for deciding, as a function of a set of configuration values, which transmissions of said initiator modules have access to said interconnection network, and wherein at least one configuration value is associated with each initiator module;
• detecting a communication status associated with the transmissions of at least one initiator and generating a status signal whose value is representative of said status;
• determining a filtered value representative of a series of the values of said communication status signal;
• and
• selectively varying at least one of said configuration values as a function of said filtered value.

• and
• providing a control module coupled to at least one of said initiator modules for detecting a communication status associated with the transmissions of the coupled initiator and generating a status signal whose value is representative of said status, determining a filtered value representative of a historical series of the values of said communication status signal, and selectively varying at least one of said configuration values as a function of said filtered value.
