Interconnect
5.1 Introduction
The interconnect located within the PS comprises multiple switches to connect system resources
using AXI point-to-point channels for communicating addresses, data, and response transactions
between master and slave clients. This ARM AMBA 3.0 interconnect implements a full array of the
interconnect communications capabilities and overlays for QoS, debug, and test monitoring. The
interconnect manages multiple outstanding transactions and is architected for low-latency paths for
the ARM CPUs and, for the PL master controllers, a high-throughput and cache coherent datapaths.
5.1.1 Features
The interconnect is the primary mechanism for data communications. The following summarizes the
interconnect features:
The interconnect is based on AXI high performance datapath switches:
°
Snoop control unit
°
L2 cache controller
Interconnect switches based on ARM NIC-301
°
Central interconnect
°
Master interconnect for slave peripherals
°
Slave interconnect for master peripherals
°
Memory interconnect
°
OCM interconnect
°
AHB and APB bridges
•PS-PL Interfaces
°
AXI_ACP, one cache coherent master port for the PL
°
AXI_HP, four high performance/bandwidth master ports for the PL
°
AXI_GP, four general purpose ports (two master ports and two slave ports)
