Abstract
A video and graphics system on an integrated circuit chip includes an integrated system bridge controller to interface a CPU with devices internal to the system as well as external peripheral devices. The system bridge controller is capable of performing format conversion between big-endian data and little-endian data. The system bridge controller includes a PCI bridge to interface with PCI devices, an I/O bus bridge to interface with I/O devices such as RAM, ROM, flash memory and 68000-compatible peripheral devices, and a CPU interface block to interface the CPU to video processing devices on the integrated circuit chip such as an MPEG video decoder.
