This paper investigates how a light-weight, statically scheduled network-on-chip (NoC) for real-time systems can be designed and implemented. The NoC provides communication channels between all cores with equal bandwidth and latency. The design is FPGA-friendly and consumes a minimum of resources. We implemented a 64 core 16-bit multiprocessor connected with the proposed NoC in a low-cost FPGA.
