Avalon interface and Network on Chip Architecture, how are they related

Hello Matrixofdynamism,

As the other posters have mentioned, NoC can be complex to describe in intricate detail. The bottom line is that it allows the system to make different design choices between the bus standard that is being used, and the interconnect between them. NoC will translate an Avalon or AXI transaction into a wide packet-based stream and route this through the interconnect to the targeted slave. With the different burst sizes and clock domains that may be used in a custom design, a NoC is not static, and will be created on-the-fly to match the required interconnect topology.

Great to hear that you are joining the Altera team soon. Please direct message me your contact details, and I'll arrange to add this to your training.

Regards

Kris
