MCC-SMC interface
The SMC interface in the MCC supports read and write transactions that enable communication with the
internal system bus of the FPGA. The FPGA design must convert these transactions to the type of
transactions that are used in the FPGA design, usually AHB‑type transactions.
Overview of MCC-SMC interface
The following figure shows the FPGA‑MCC SMC interface.
SMBM_nBL[1:0] is not used.
The MCC‑SMC interface enables the MCC to access the peripheral space of the FPGA system. Typical
uses are:
•
Preloading boot images.
•
Reading and writing to system registers.
•
Preconfiguring peripherals.
