THE IMPORTANCE OF THE AXI INTERCONNECTION INTERFACE
Consider going back in time to the dawn of humanity. When you encounter someone who can't speak or can't understand you, it'll be both frightening and fascinating. Clearly, communication will be impossible unless you discover a way to communicate your separate meanings/intentions in a mutually acceptable manner. In the world of electronics, the same idea applies, as there are numerous sorts of interfaces among electronic equipment. As a result, an uniform communication protocol simplifies data translation in a system, particularly in a System-on-Chip (SoC) system with several systems.
With renowned AMBA Interconnects and standard or bespoke peripheral interfaces, SoC FPGAs such as Digital Blocks provide a versatile CPU programming interface and high-performance transfer rates. With IP releases addressing CPU AXI/AHB backbone DMA Engines, PCI Express DMA, Network Ethernet DMA, and Peripheral high/low data-rate DMA transfers, Digital Blocks DMA Controllers are feature-rich with Multi-Channel, Scatter-Gather functionality. The AXI Master Data Interface spans from 32 to 1024 bits, with configurable data bursts of 1, 4, 8, 16, and up to 16 outstanding read requests, as well as programmable QoS and higher data burst lengths for AXI4 DMA. APB or AXI-lite Slave Interface for CPU access to Control/Status Registers is also provided by the AXI DMA Controller. The DB-DMAC-MC-AXI is optimized for big and small data block transfers as a high-performance DMA Engine.
The AXI Interconnection is the standard language for connecting PS and PL. FPGA companies like Digital Blocks have made it possible to merge software and hardware subsystems on a single chip, and AXI is the primary communication protocol between them. Understanding AXI Interconnections like AXI4 DMA, AXI3, and AHB5 is essential for SoC designers. To know more, visit www.digitalblocks.com
