7.2.3. MPFE Interfaces

The MPFE has interfaces that allow it to communicate to the Fabric core logic, the SDRAM, and the HPS.

The following table lists an overview of these interfaces.

Group Interface Name Initiator Protocol Width Comment
F2H Bridge FPGA-to-HPS Fabric core logic ACE-lite 128-bit/256-bit/512-bit The I/O coherent port from the FPGA into the MPFE. You can access HPS slaves (e.g., on-chip RAM) in the peripheral memory space and SDRAM.
HPS CAI MPFE ACE-lite 256-bit Routed F2H transactions addressed to the CCU
CMI CCU AXI4 512-bit Main data path from HPS to SDRAM
MPFE_CSR CCU AXI4 32-bit HPS access to the MPFE NoC and IO96 Bank CSRs
FPGA_TBU TCU AXIS

72-bit

(TBU->TCU)

104-bit

(TCU->TBU)

AXI* streaming port for the local TBU to/from the TCU

IO96 Banks MPFE_HMC_DATA_L MPFE AVST 256-bit

Data path signals to the IO96 for DDR data bits 31:0

(4 × 64-bit half rate

OR

8 × 64-bit quarter rate)

MPFE_HMC_DATA_U MPFE AVST 256-bit

Data path signals to the IO96 for DDR data bits 63:32

(4 × 64-bit half rate

OR

8 × 64-bit quarter rate)

IO96 CSR MPFE AXI4 32-bit Access to IO96 Banks CSRs
HMC Adaptor NOC2HMC MPFE NoC OCP-DRAM (on chip protocol) 512-bit The HMC Adaptor converts the OCP-DRAM protocol from the MPFE NoC into the required protocol (AVST) for the IO96 HMC
