Description
Interface Name
f2h_axi_clock
FPGA-to-HPS AXI slave interface
f2h_axi_slave
The FPGA-to-HPS interface is a configurable data width AXI slave allowing FPGA masters to issue
transactions to the HPS. This interface allows the FPGA fabric to access the majority of the HPS slaves. This
interface also provides a coherent memory interface.
The FPGA-to-HPS interface is an AXI-3 compliant interface with the following features:
• Configurable data width: 32, 64, or 128 bits
• Accelerator Coherency Port (ACP) sideband signals
• HPS-side AXI bridge to manage clock crossing, buffering, and data width conversion.
Other interface standards in the FPGA fabric, such as connecting to Avalon
®
Memory-Mapped (Avalon-
MM) interfaces, can be supported through the use of soft logic adaptors. The Qsys system integration tool
automatically generates adaptor logic to connect AXI to Avalon-MM interfaces.
This interface has an address width of 32 bits. To access existing Avalon-MM/AXI masters, you can use the
Altera
®
Address Span Extender.

ACP Sideband Signals
For communication with the ACP on the microprocessor unit (MPU) subsystem, AXI sideband signals are
used to describe the inner cacheable attributes for the transaction.
