Abstract

A system-on-chip (SOC), includes a memory, a partition access module coupled to the memory, a partition requesting unit coupled to the partition access module, and a first input-output (IO) device coupled to the partition access module. The partition access module creates a first partition of the SOC. The first partition includes a first portion of a first processor, the first IO device, and a first portion of the memory. Based upon a partition request, the partition access module repartitions the SOC to create a dynamic partition. The dynamic partition includes the first portion of the first processor, the first input-output (IO) device, the first portion of the memory, and a second IO device not included in the first partition.
