NOEL-PF-EX
3 Architecture
3.1 Cores
The architecture is based on cores from the GRLIB IP library. The vendor and device identifiers for
each core can be extracted from the plug & play information. The used IP cores are listed in table 3.
3.2 Interrupts
The NOEL-PF-EX example designs use the same interrupt assignment for all configurations. See the
description of the individual cores for how and when the interrupts are raised. All interrupts are han -
dled by the interrupt controller and forwarded to the processor.
3.3 Memory map
The example designs use the same memory map for all standard configurations. The memory map
shown in table 5 is based on the AMBA AHB address space. An access to addresses outside the
Table 3.
