1. Overview

The FPGA Interface Manager (FIM) data sheet provides the key parameters to which you must design your Accelerator Functional Unit (AFU).
The FIM consists of the following:
  • FPGA Interface Unit (FIU): The platform interface layer that acts as a bridge between PCIe* and Core Cache Interface (CCI-P).
  • Core Cache Interface (CCI-P): standard interface AFUs use to communicate with the host.
  • External Memory Interface (EMIF)
  • High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI) for external transceivers
Each of these components have parameter values that must be met by the AFU.
