IBM CoreConnect™ is an emerging, open, industry-standard bus architecture designed to ease the integration and reuse of processor, system, and peripheral cores within standard and custom system-on-a-chip (SOC) designs.

License information

IBM CoreConnect is available as a no-fee, no-royalty architecture to system-on-a-chip tool vendors, core IP companies, and chip development companies. A 32-bit version of the CoreConnect bus architecture, used by IBM in more than 20 designs over three years, and a 64-bit version can be licensed today. Each version includes a processor local bus, on-chip peripheral bus, arbiters, bus bridge, and a bus monitor. A complete PLB test and verification solution is available from Denali in their Purespec(tm) and PureSuite(tm) products.

Users group
Membership to the CoreConnect Users Group is free to IBM CoreConnect licensees. The consortium of members is not a standards committee, and is not intended to compete with VSIA. Membership is designed to facilitate the collection of bus performance feedback and to provide a forum in which suggestions for architecture improvements can be discussed.
