AXI interface signals
A.5.1
Instruction read port signals
ARM DDI 0301H
ID012310
The AXI interface ports operate using standard AXI signals, described in the following sections:
•
Instruction read port signals
•
Data port signals on page A-8
•
Peripheral port signals on page A-9
•
DMA port signals on page A-10.
Note
•
All the outputs listed in this section have their reset values during Standby.
•
Full descriptions of the AXI interface signals are given in the AMBA
Specification. This section only summarizes how the AXI interfaces are implemented on
this processor.
The AXI signal names have a one or two-letter suffix that indicate the port, as shown in
Table A-5.
The instruction read port is a 64-bit wide read-only AXI port. The standard AXI read channel
signal names are suffixed with I, and the implementation details of the port are:
ARID[3:0] and RID[3:0] signals are not implemented
•
the read data bus is implemented as RDATAI[63:0]
•
the ARSIDEBANDI[4:0] output is implemented to indicate shared and inner cacheable
•
accesses.
Table A-6 on page A-8 gives more information about the instruction read port AXI
implementation. See the AMBA
signals on this port.
