Chapter 2: Signals, Interfaces, and Pins
2.5 PS-PL MIO-EMIO Signals and Interfaces
The MIO is fundamental to the I/O peripheral connections due to the limited number of MIO pins.
Software programs the routing of the I/O signals to the MIO pins. The I/O peripheral signals can also
be routed to the PL (including PL device pins) through the EMIO interface. This is useful to gain
access to more device pins (PL pins) and to allow an I/O peripheral controller to interface to user
logic in the PL. See Figure 2-2.
2.5.1 I/O Peripheral (IOP) Interface Routing
The I/O multiplexing of the I/O controller signals differs; that is, some IOP signals are solely available
on the MIO pin interface, some signals are available via MIO or EMIO, and some of the interface
signals are only accessible via EMIO. Some of the routing capabilities for each I/O peripheral are
shown in Table 2-3. The details for each IOP are included in the chapter that describes the IOP. MIO
pin assignment possibilities are illustrated in section 2.5.4 MIO-at-a-Glance Table.
Note: The routing of the IOP interface I/O signals must be done as a group; that is, the signals must
not be split and routed to different MIO pin groups. For example, if the SPI 0 CLK is routed to MIO
pin 40, then the other signals of the SPI 0 interface must be routed to MIO pins 41 to 45. Similarly,
the signals within an IOP interface must not be split between MIO and EMIO. However, unused
signals within an IOP interface do not necessarily need to be routed. Unused signals can be
configured as a GPIO.
