Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

AWVALIDM

Output

CLKIN

Indicates address and control are valid.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Write data channel

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WDATAM[63:0]

Output

CLKIN

Write data.

 

 

 

 

 

 

WIDM[3:0]

Output

CLKIN

The identification tag for the write data group of signals.

 

 

 

 

 

 

WLASTM

Output

CLKIN

Indicates the last data transfer of a burst.

 

 

 

 

 

 

WREADYM

Input

CLKIN

Indicates that the slave is ready to accept write data

 

 

 

 

 

 

WSTRBM[7:0]

Output

CLKIN

Write strobes used to indicate which byte lanes must be updated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

WVALIDM

Output

CLKIN

Indicates address and control are valid.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Write response channel

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BIDM [3:0]

Input

CLKIN

The identification tag for the write response signal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

BREADYM

Output

CLKIN

Indicates that the core is ready to accept write response.

 

 

 

 

 

 

BRESPM[1:0]

Input

CLKIN

Write response.

 

 

 

 

 

 

BVALIDM

Input

CLKIN

Indicates that a valid write response is available.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Read address channel

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ARADDRM[31:0]

Output

CLKIN

Instruction fetch burst start address.

 

 

 

 

 

 

ARBURSTM[1:0]

Output

CLKIN

Burst type.

 

 

 

 

 

 

ARCACHEM[3:0]

Output

CLKIN

Provides decode information for outer attributes:

 

 

 

 

b0000 = Strongly Ordered.

 

 

 

 

b0001 = Device.

 

 

 

 

b0011 = Normal, Non-cacheable.

 

 

 

 

b0110 = Normal, Cacheable. write-through.

 

 

 

 

b1111 = Normal, Cacheable. write-back, write allocation.

 

 

 

 

b0111 = Normal, Cacheable. write-back, no write allocation.

 

 

 

 

 

Note

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The AXI specification describes these encodings using the

 

 

 

 

pre-ARMv6 terms such as cacheable-bufferable. These terms

 

 

 

 

are equivalent to the ARMv6 memory-type descriptions such as

 

 

 

 

Normal, Non-cacheable used here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ARIDM[3:0]

Output

CLKIN

Identification tag for the read address group of signals

 

 

 

 

 

 

ARLENM [3:0]

Output

CLKIN

Instruction fetch burst length.

 

 

 

 

 

 

ARLOCKM[1:0]

Output

CLKIN

Lock signal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

ARPROTM[2:0]

Output

CLKIN

Protection signals provide addition information about a bus

 

 

 

 

access.

 

 

 

 

 

 

ARREADYM

Input

CLKIN

Address ready. The slave uses this signal to indicate that it can

 

 

 

 

accept the address.

 

 

 

 

 

 

ARSIZEM[2:0]

Output

CLKIN

Indicates the size of the transfer.
