This article describes the application of on-chip buses and the development of protocol adapters for different protocols. In the discourse, it is explained, how the functionality of a module´s interface can be mapped into a memory interface based on the VCI On-Chip-Bus standard if transactions on this interface can be constrained to solely read- and write-transactions. It is shown, how parts of the internal communication infrastructure can be synthesized from such a constrained specification.
