ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is an information processing apparatus including, one or more modules that are interconnected via a system bus, wherein each of one or more the modules includes, a functional device, which conforms to a local interface that differs from an interface for the system bus, and performs a predetermined function, and an interface device, which is connected to the functional device via a local bus conforming to the local interface, and connected to another module via the system bus, wherein, when information in a first format conforming to the local interface is supplied from the functional device via the local bus, the interface device converts the information from the first format to a second format conforming to the interface for the system bus and supplies the converted information to the another module via the system bus, and wherein, when information in the second format is supplied from the another module via the system bus, the interface device converts the information from the second format to the first format and supplies the converted information to the functional device via the local bus.
