2.1.2.1. No support for unaligned access to EMIF interfaces using Fabric Direct Access mode or HPS F2SDRAM bridge

Description

For fabric EMIF, unaligned memory access is not supported in Fabric Direct Access Mode. Similarly, for HPS EMIF, unaligned memory access is not supported on the 256-bit wide F2SDRAM Bridge. Unaligned memory access occurs when the ARADDR/AWADDR is not a multiple of the data bus width (in bytes).

The table below shows the AWADDR/ARADDR requirements for aligned memory access in fabric EMIF and HPS EMIF.

Table 11.   AWADDR/ARADDR requirements for aligned memory access
Category AXI Data Width (bits) AXI Data Width (bytes) AWADDR/ARADDR for Aligned Access (bytes)
Fabric EMIF-Direct Access Mode 256 32 32n 1
HPS EMIF - F2SDRAM 64 8 8
HPS EMIF - F2SDRAM 128 16 16
HPS EMIF - F2SDRAM 256 32 32n1

Performing unaligned memory access on the EMIF interfaces might result in a data error.

Workaround

Perform only aligned memory access to EMIF interfaces on Agilex™ 3 devices.
