2.3.7. Memory and I/O Organization
This section explains hardware implementation details of the Nios® V/m processor memory and I/O organization. The discussion covers both general concepts true for all Nios® V/m processor systems, as well as features that might varies from system to system.
Nios® V/m processor systems are configurable. As a result, the memory and I/O organization varies from system to system. A Nios® V/m processor core uses one or more of the following to provide memory and I/O access:
- Instruction manager port: An Arm* Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture ( AMBA* ) 4 AXI Memory-Mapped manager port that connects to instruction memory via system interconnect fabric.
- Data manager port: An AMBA* 4 AXI Memory-Mapped manager port that connects to data memory and peripherals via the system interconnect fabric.
Nios® V/m Processor Core Memory Mapped I/O Access: Both data memory and peripherals are mapped into the address space of the data manager port. Nios® V/m processor core uses little-endian byte ordering. Words and halfwords are stored in memory with the more-significant bytes at higher addresses. The Nios® V/m processor core does not specify anything about the existence of memory and peripherals. The quantity, type, and connection of memory and peripherals are system dependent.
