amitk3553 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Hello all, what do u mean by transaction bridges? Like interconnect?then what is the difference b/w both? Regards Cam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apfitch Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 An interconnect does not create a transaction payload object, it simply passes references on. A bridge does create a transaction payload object. A bridge is required if the sockets between an initiator and target cannot be connected (for instance if the payload types are different, or the socket widths are different). regards Alan amitk3553 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please elaborate this by some diagram or example!! Thanks with Regards Amit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apfitch Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 No a bridge still needs sockets - it just has different types of sockets. Have a look at our video here: http://www.doulos.com/knowhow/systemc/tlm2/#anchor1 especially the section towards the end about interoperability. regards Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
