Abstract
A system and method wherein die-to-die communication are provided between a first die and a second die contained in a common integrated circuit (IC) package, a first processor on the first die communicatively coupled to first connectivity circuitry by a first processor bus and configured to provide first bus transactions to the first processor bus, the discrete signal lines connected to the first connectivity circuitry to provide first discrete signals indicative of discrete events, the first connectivity circuitry configured to store the first discrete signals in a plurality of virtual signal registers and to convert the first bus transactions and the first discrete signals into die-to-die message packets to be communicated to the second connectivity circuitry via a die-to-die interconnect between the first die and the second die, the first discrete signals being converted into the die-to-die message packets on a register-by-register basis.
