Abstract: Processor-based system hybrid ring bus interconnects, and related devices, systems, and methods are disclosed. In one embodiment, a processor-based system hybrid ring bus interconnect is provided. The processor-based system hybrid ring bus interconnect includes multiple ring buses, each having a bus width and configured to receive bus transaction messages from a requester device(s). The processor-based system hybrid ring bus interconnect also includes an inter-ring router(s) coupled to the ring buses. The inter-ring router(s) is configured to dynamically direct bus transaction messages among the ring buses based on bandwidth requirements of the requester device(s). Thus, less power is consumed than by a crossbar interconnect due to simpler switching configurations. Further, the inter-ring router(s) allows for provision of multiple ring buses that can be dynamically activated and deactivated based on bandwidth requirements. This provides conservation of power when full bandwidth requirements on the processor-based system hybrid ring bus interconnect are not required.

Abstract: Devices, systems, methods, and computer-readable mediums for arbitrating bus transactions on a communications bus based on health information are disclosed. Health information of master devices can be used to adjust priorities of bus transactions from master devices to meet quality of service requirements of the master devices. In one embodiment, a bus interconnect is provided and configured to communicate bus transactions from any of a plurality of master devices to slave device(s) coupled the bus interconnect. The bus interconnect is further configured to map health information for each of the plurality of master devices into virtual priority space. The bus interconnect is further configured to translate the virtual priority space into a physical priority level for each of the plurality of master devices. The bus interconnect is further configured to arbitrate bus transactions for the plurality of master devices based on physical priority level for the plurality of master devices.
