exclusive monitor picks the slot to be used using round-robin mechanism. An example exclusive
access sequence is shown inTable 5-10, assuming one AXI ID per master:
2. Exclusive access between different AXI ports is not supported because the monitors do not share
information with each other, thus the DDRC does not support exclusive access across different
ports. This means only masters that will access the same DDR port can do exclusive access to a
memory through DDR. Example master topologies able to perform exclusive access together are
shown in Table 5-11.
Table 5-10: Example DDR Port Behavior
Masters action DDR Port behavior
Master 1 issues exclusive load to address A Exclusive monitor 1 now has address A and master 1
recorded
Master 2 issues exclusive load to address B Exclusive monitor 2 now has address B and master 2
recorded
Master 3 issues exclusive load to address C Exclusive monitor 1 now has address C and master 3
recorded
Master 1 issues exclusive store to address A DDRC returns with OKAY, indicating exclusive access had
failed
Master 2 issues exclusive store to address B DDRC returns with EXOKAY, indicating exclusive access
successful
Master 3 issues exclusive store to address C DDRC returns with EXOKAY, indicating exclusive access
successful

Master Topology Can Perform Exclusives Accesses Together to DDRC?
A9 core 0, A9 Core 1 Yes
A9 core 0, ACP Yes
PL master on GP0/1 with Cortex-A9 No, GP0/1 ports and Cortex-A9 CPUs use different AXI DDRC
AXI ports.
Master on HP0 with master on HP1 Yes, (HP0 and HP1) and (HP2 and HP3) each share a common
DDRC AXI port.
Master on HP1 with master on HP2 No, HP1 and HP2 use different DDRC ports.
Master on GP0 with master HP0 No, GP0/1 ports and HP0-3 ports use different DDRC ports.
Master on GP0 with master on GP1 Yes, GP0/1 ports share a common DDRC AXI port.
