Fixed Bursts
The interconnect converts
FIXED
bursts to one or more
INCR1
or
INCRn
bursts depending on the downsize
ratio.
Bypass Merge
If the programmable bit
bypass_merge
is enabled, the interconnect does not perform any packing of
beats to match the optimal
SIZE
for maximum throughput, up to the output data width
SIZE
. Bypass
merge is accessible through the GPV registers and is only accessible to secure masters.
If an exclusive transaction is split into multiple transactions at the output of the downsizing function, the
exclusive flag is removed and the master never receives an
EXOKAY
response. Response priority is the same
as for the upsizing function

Lock Support
Lock is not supported by the interconnect. For atomic accesses, masters can perform exclusive accesses when
sharing data located in the HPS SDRAM.

For more information about exclusive access support, refer to the
SDRAM Controller Subsystem
chapter.
FIFO Buffers and Clocks
The interconnect contains FIFO buffers in the majority of the interfaces exposed to the HPS master and
slaves, as well as between the subswitches. These FIFO buffers also provide clock domain crossing for masters
and slaves that operate at a different clock frequency than the switch they connect to.
Data Release Mechanism
For network ports containing write data FIFO buffers with a depth of four or greater, you can set a write
tidemark function,
wr_tidemark
. This tidemark level stalls the release of the transaction until one of the
following situations occurs:
• The interconnect receives the
WLAST
beat of a burst.
• The write data FIFO buffer becomes full.
• The number of occupied slots in the write data FIFO buffer exceeds the write tidemark.

This topic contains information about which interfaces contain write data FIFO buffers with a depth of four
or greater.
Resets
The interconnect has one reset signal. The reset manager drives this signal to the SD/MMC controller on a
cold or warm reset. On reset, the boot ROM is mapped to address 0x0. The DAP virtually maps to ID 2.
