9.3.1.2. FPGA-to-HPS Bridge Slave Signals

The FPGA-to-HPS bridge slave address channels support user-sideband signals, routed to the ACP in the MPU subsystem. All the signals have a fixed width except the data and write strobes for the read and write data channels. The variable width signals depend on the data width setting of the bridge.

The FPGA-to-HPS bridge incorporates Arm* 's TrustZone* technology by providing the ARPROT[1] and AWPROT[1] signals, which specify whether a transaction is secure or nonsecure. The firewall logic uses the AxPROT signals to determine if a bus transaction matches the security level allowed. You can program security values in the Secure Configuration Registers of the system interconnect.

All peripheral slaves and memories in the SoC are secure when they are released from reset.

The following tables list all the signals exposed by the FPGA-to-HPS slave interface to the FPGA fabric.
