Abstract: Methods and apparatus for integrating ARM-based IPs in computer system employing PCI-based fabrics. An PCI-based fabric is operatively coupled to an ARM-based ecosystem employing an ARM-based fabric such as OCP, AHB, or BVCI via a corresponding fabric-to-fabric bridge. Transactions between IP operatively coupled to the PCI-based fabric and IP in the ARM-based ecosystem are facilitated by applying applicable ordering and conversions operations via the fabric-to-fabric bridge and/or fabrics. For example, posted writes originating from IP coupled to the PCI-based fabric are converted to non-posted writes and serialized via the fabric-to-fabric bridge and forwarded to the ARM-based ecosystem.

Abstract: A prioritized address decoder has been disclosed. One embodiment of the prioritized address decoder includes a first comparator to compare a destination device address of data with a first address range associated with a first device and a second comparator coupled to the first comparator to compare the destination device address with a second address range associated with a second device, wherein the data is sent to the second device in response to a first output of the first comparator and a second output of the second comparator.
