5.5 AXI_GP Interfaces
5.5.1 Features
AXI_GP features include:
Standard AXI protocol
Data bus width: 32
Master port ID width: 12
Master port issuing capability: 8 reads, 8 writes
Slave port ID width: 6
Slave port acceptance capability: 8 reads, 8 writes
5.5.2 Performance
These interfaces are connected directly to the ports of the master interconnect and the slave
interconnect, without any additional FIFO buffering, unlike the AXI_HP interfaces which has elaborate
FIFO buffering to increase performance and throughput. Therefore, the performance is constrained
by the ports of the master interconnect and the slave interconnect. These interfaces are for
general-purpose use only and are not intended to achieve high performance.
IMPORTANT: The PL level shifters must be enabled by LVL_SHFTR_EN before PL logic communication
can occur.
Note: By default, all PS peripherals are set to secure Trustzone mode. This means that any
non-secure accesses indicated with AxPROT[1]=1 will received a DECERR response.
5.6 PS-PL AXI Interface Signals
5.6.1 AXI Signals
AXI signals are identified in Table 5-9. The PL level shifters must be enabled by the LVL_SHFTR_EN
register before PL logic communication can occur, refer to section 2.4 PS–PL Voltage Level Shifter
Enables.
