Read ID width

 

The number of bits in the ARID bus.

 

Read issuing capability

 

The maximum number of active read transactions that a master interface can

 

generate.

 

Write ID capability

 

The maximum number of different AWID values that a master interface can

 

generate for all active write transactions at any one time.

 

Write ID width

 

The number of bits in the AWID and WID buses.

 

Write interleave capability

 

The number of active write transactions for which the master interface is capable

 

of transmitting data. This is counted from the earliest transaction.

 

Write issuing capability

 

The maximum number of active write transactions that a master interface can

 

generate.

 

The following AXI terms are slave interface attributes. To obtain optimum performance, they

 

must be specified for all components with an AXI slave interface

 

Combined acceptance capability

 

The maximum number of active transactions that a slave interface can accept.

 

This is specified instead of write or read acceptance capability for slave interfaces

 

that use a combined storage for active write and read transactions.

 

Read acceptance capability

 

The maximum number of active read transactions that a slave interface can

 

accept.

 

Read data reordering depth

 

The number of active read transactions for which a slave interface can transmit

 

data. This is counted from the earliest transaction.

 

Write acceptance capability

 

The maximum number of active write transactions that a slave interface can

 

accept.

 

Write interleave depth

 

The number of active write transactions for which the slave interface can receive

 

data. This is counted from the earliest transaction.

Banked registers

Those physical registers whose use is defined by the current processor mode. The banked

 

registers are R8 to R14.

Base register

A register specified by a load/store instruction that is used to hold the base value for the

 

instruction’s address calculation. Depending on the instruction and its addressing mode, an

 

offset can be added to or subtracted from the base register value to form the virtual address that

 

is sent to memory.
