Honored ContributorAvalon interface and Network on Chip Architecture, how are they related
I understand that in Qsys, components are connected through the use of Avalon interface. What I am confused about is, where does NoC come on stage and what is the relationship between NoC and Avalon?...

Honored ContributorThis goes into a little bit of the details of the NoC: http://www.altera.com/literature/wp/wp-01149-noc-qsys.pdf
Network-on-a-chip (NoC) is not an Altera invention so there should be plenty of material out there on the web that you can read up on. Like Daixiwen said it would be more useful coming up to speed on the Avalon-MM or AXI interface specifications than knowing how the NoC works.
