Level Two Interface

9.1About the L2 interface

This section describes the processor L2 interface. The L2 interface consists of AXI master and AXI slave interfaces.

The processor is designed for use in larger chip designs using the Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA) AXI protocol. The processor uses the L2 interfaces as its interface to memory and peripheral devices.

External AXI masters and the processor can use the AXI slave interface to access the processor RAMs. You can use the AXI slave interface for DMA access into and out of the TCMs or to perform software test of the TCMs and cache RAMs.
