Patent attributes
In an example, a device includes a memory and a processor core coupled to the memory via a memory management unit (MMU). The device also includes a system MMU (SMMU) cross-referencing virtual addresses (VAs) with intermediate physical addresses (IPAs) and IPAs with physical addresses (PAs). The device further includes a physical address table (PAT) cross-referencing IPAs with each other and cross-referencing PAs with each other. The device also includes a peripheral virtualization unit (PVU) cross-referencing IPAs with PAs, and a routing circuit coupled to the memory, the SMMU, the PAT, and the PVU. The routing circuit is configured to receive a request comprising an address and an attribute and to route the request through at least one of the SMMU, the PAT, or the PVU based on the address and the attribute.
