Introduction
The Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture
(AMBA
®
) Advanced eXtensible Interface (AXI4) to
Processor Local Bus (PLB v4.6) Bridge translates AXI
transactions into PLBv46 transactions. It functions as
32/64-bit slave on AXI4 and 32/64-bit master on the
PLB.
Features
The Xilinx AXI to PLBv46 Bridge is a soft Intellectual
Property (IP) core that supports following features:
• AXI4 and PLB v4.6 (Xilinx simplification)
• 1:1 (AXI:PLB) synchronous clock ratio
• 32-bit address on AXI and PLB interfaces
• 32/64-bit data buses on AXI & PLB interfaces (1:1
ratio)
• Write and read data buffering
AXI4 Slave Interface Support
• Configurable AXI4 Interface Categories
• Control (AXI4-Lite) Interface
• Read/Write Interface
• Read-only Interface
• Write-only Interface
• Additional control interface to access internal
registers of the design
• INCR bursts of 1 to 256
• Bursts of 1-16 for FIXED type transfer
• Burst of 2, 4, 8 and 16 for WRAP type transfers
• Configurable support for narrow transfers
• Unaligned transactions
• Early response for bufferable write transfer
