Initialization method for MPSoC

Abstract

Unlike traditional SoC (System-on-chip) chip, multiprocessor chip that contains multiple independent processors, each processor owns different applications, so we need to make a reasonable multiprocessor chip initialization program. This paper proposes a design for the multiprocessor system initialization. The main contribution is as follows: Firstly, one method for the implementation of multiprocessor system initialization is designed. Once the system is power-up or reset each processor's configuration data will be put to destination place through certain data path. Secondly, it is also an important reference for other types of initialization design of NoC (Network-on-chip) system. The design was successfully implemented on FPGA for an MPSoC system.
