ABSTRACT:
A configurable and scaleable multi-bus platform for developing, testing and/or debugging prototype systems to be implemented in an integrated circuit includes a backplane providing multiple busses. Multiple system bus cards can be coupled to the backplane, and each of the system bus cards includes a system bus which is electrically coupled to at least one bus on the backplane. The system bus cards also include a bus infrastructure device providing support logic for operating the system bus. Daughter cards, containing master or slave devices for particular design configurations, are coupleable to the system bus cards in order to simulate a system bus which will be implemented in the integrated circuit. The backplane and system bus cards, as well as other components, can be easily reused in other projects for designing, testing and debugging other integrated circuits.
