52.3.2. Warp IP Interfaces
The functional interfaces are:
- Intel FPGA video stream input interface
- Intel FPGA video stream output interface
- Avalon Memory-Mapped compatible Processor interface
- Avalon Memory-Mapped compatible memory interface
Avalon Memory-Mapped Processor interface
The Warp IP control interface uses a 32bit Avalon Memory-Mapped interface to access control registers.
Signal name | Direction | Width | Description |
---|---|---|---|
av_mm_control_agent_address | Input | 13 | The byte address of the register being accessed. |
av_mm_control_agent_write | Input | 1 | Assert to indicate a write transfer. |
av_mm_control_agent_byteenable | Input | 4 | Enables one or more byte lanes during a write transfer. |
av_mm_control_agent_writedata | Input | 32 | Data for write transfers. |
av_mm_control_agent_read | Input | 1 | Assert to indicate a read transfer. |
av_mm_control_agent_readdata | Output | 32 | Data for read transfers. |
av_mm_control_agent_readdatavalid | Output | 1 | Asserted by the IP to indicate valid read data. |
av_mm_control_agent_waitrequest | Output | 1 | Asserted by the IP to indicate that the host must wait to complete the transfer. |
Avalon Memory-Mapped Memory interface
The Warp IP memory interface uses a 512-bit Avalon Memory-Mapped interface to access external memory.
Signal name | Direction | Width | Description |
---|---|---|---|
av_mm_memory_host_waitrequest | Input | 1 | Asserted by the agent to indicate that the Warp IP must wait to complete the transfer. |
av_mm_memory_host_readdata | Input | 512 | Data for read transfers. |
av_mm_memory_host_readdatavalid | Input | 1 | Assert to indicate valid read data. |
av_mm_memory_host_response | Input | 2 | The response status of the agent. |
av_mm_memory_host_burstcount | Output | 4 | Indicates the number of transfers in each burst. |
av_mm_memory_host_writedata | Output | 512 | Data for write transfers. |
av_mm_memory_host_address | Output | 32 | The byte address of the memory location being accessed. |
av_mm_memory_host_write | Output | 1 | Asserted to indicate a write transfer. |
av_mm_memory_host_read | Output | 1 | Asserted to indicate a read transfer. |
av_mm_memory_host_byteenable | Output | 64 | Enables one or more byte lanes during a write transfer. |
av_mm_memory_host_debugaccess | Output | 1 | Not used by the Warp IP. |
Clocking
The Warp IP has five clock domains, each with a corresponding reset. For the Agilex™ 7 family, the video and processing clock domains can run up to 600 MHz. The CPU and memory interface clock domains can run up to 500 MHz. For all other device families the clock domains run up to 300 MHz.
Clock name | Description |
---|---|
av_mm_control_agent_clock | CPU interface clock domain |
av_mm_memory_host_clock | Memory interface clock domain |
axi4s_vid_in_0_clock | Input video stream clock domain |
axi4s_vid_out_0_clock | Output video stream clock domain |
core_clock | Processing engine clock domain |
The CPU interface uses little bandwidth and does not impose a minimum clock frequency.
The video clock frequency depends on the video resolution and frame rate and the Warp IP’s number of pixels in parallel. For example, a 600 MHz clock at 1 pixel in parallel supports resolutions up to 3840x2160 at 60 fps. A 300 MHz clock at 2 pixels in parallel supports active video resolutions up to 3840x2160 at 60 fps. A 150 MHz clock at 1 pixel in parallel supports resolutions up to 1920x1080 at 60 fps.
All RTL-based blocks that transfer or receive data from a different clock domain include clock domain crossing (CDC) circuits for both, single bit and data bus signal cases. The CDC circuits safely allow exchange of data between the two asynchronous clock domains. The Warp IP includes an .sdc file to constrain these CDC paths.
When Use easy warp is on, Altera recommends that you connect the core_clock and av_mm_memory_host_clock inputs to the same clock source.
Resets
Reset name | Description |
---|---|
av_mm_control_agent_reset | CPU interface clock domain reset. |
av_mm_memory_host_reset | Memory interface clock domain reset. |
axi4s_vid_in_0_reset | Input video stream clock domain reset. |
axi4s_vid_out_0_reset | Output video stream clock domain reset. |
core_reset | Processing engine(s) clock domain reset. |
All the resets in the Warp IP are synchronous. Ensure that, when resetting the Warp IP, all clocks are active at the same time while you apply the resets.
Interrupts
Signal | Description |
---|---|
interrupt_irq | Active high interrupt triggered at the start of each output frame sent from the axi4s_vid_out_0 interface. The signal is synchronous to the av_mm_control_agent_clock domain. Enable tinterrupt_irq using the interrupt control register and clear using the interrupt status register. |
