Abstract
Auto-configuration support for a multiple processor-ready pair or FRC-master/checker pair is achieved through the use of an initialization signal issued to each agent on a bus during system reset. The agents on the bus are interconnected using a rotating interconnect scheme which causes each agent to sample a signal issued from another agent on a pin different from the pin on which the other agent issued the signal. When operating in FRC-master/checker mode, the checker agent operates as if it were the master agent, thereby checking the operation of the master agent. The initialization signal modifies the input and or output lines connected to the pins of the checker agent based on this rotating interconnect scheme, thereby ensuring the checker agent properly checks the master agent's operation.
