Advantages

   

---

• Eliminates the ongoing task of (re)defining interface protocols, then verifying, documenting, supporting them.

• OCP readily adapts to support new core capabilities.

• Testbench portability simplifies reverification.

• Limits test suite modifications for core enhancements.

• Any bus structure can be interfaced to the OCP.

• Delivers industry standard flexibility and reuse.

• Symmetrical signaling enables direct point-to-point communication between two cores (without on-chip bus).
