Highlights
The OCP promotes IP core reusability and reduces design time, design risk and manufacturing costs for SoC designs. It focuses exclusively on IP core interfacing without preempting interconnect topology or other application-specific integration choices.
- Enables IP core creation to be independent of system architecture and application domain
- Describes all inter-core communications
- Optimizes die area by configuring into the OCP interface only those features needed by the core
- Specified timing categories assure core interoperability
- Facilitates rapid, plug-and-play IP integration
