Reference Design Example
4.1About the design example
This chapter describes the reference design example supplied with the interface module. The interface module is not fitted with any programmable devices because it is intended to provide interfaces for peripherals instantiated into a logic module FPGA.
The interface module design example for the logic module is supplied in VHDL. Although the PrimeCell peripherals can be seen instantiated in the top level VHDL file IMAD1fpga.vhd, the HDL source code for the PrimeCell peripherals themselves are not supplied. All other
The design example supports
