    Abstract: A system on a chip (SOC) is configured to support multiple time domains within a time-sensitive networking (TSN) environment. TSN extends Ethernet networks to support a deterministic and high-availability communication on Layer 2 (data link layer of open system interconnect “OSI” model) for time coordinated capabilities such as industrial automation and control applications. Processors in a system may have an application time domain separate from the communication time domain. In addition, each type time domain may also have multiple potential time masters to drive synchronization for fault tolerance. The SoC supports multiple time domains driven by different time masters and graceful time master switching. Timing masters may be switched at run-time in case of a failure in the system. Software drives the SoC to establish communication paths through a sync router to facilitate communication between time providers and time consumers. Multiple time sources are supported.

    Abstract: A method includes transmitting first data with a first priority through a first dedicated interface on a transmit side of a PCIe system. The method also includes transmitting second data with a second priority through a second dedicated interface on the transmit side of the PCIe system. The method includes transmitting the first data and the second data to a receive side of the PCIe system using two or more virtual channels over a PCIe link, where the first data uses a first virtual channel and the second data uses a second virtual channel.

    Abstract: An address space field is used in conjunction with a normal address field to allow indication of an address space for the particular address value. In one instance, one address space value is used to indicate the bypassing of the address translation used between address spaces. A different address space value is designated for conventional operation, where address translations are performed. Other address space values are used to designate different transformations of the address values or the data. This technique provides a simplified format for handling address values and the like between different devices having different address spaces, simplifying overall computer system design and operation.
