2.1.3. Connecting Soft Logic to HPS Component

Designers can connect soft logic components to the HPS using the Cyclone® V/ Arria® V HPS component in Platform Designer (Standard).

Note: Refer to the "Introduction to the HPS Component" and "Instantiating the HPS Component" chapters of the appropriate Hard Processor System Technical Reference Manual to understand the interface and available options. To connect a FPGA soft IP component to the HPS, Platform Designer (Standard) provides the component editor tool. For more information, refer to the "Creating Platform Designer (Standard) Components" chapter of the Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition Handbook, Volume 1: Design and Synthesis.
Note: When designing and configuring high bandwidth DMA masters and related buffering in the FPGA core, refer to the DMA Considerations section of this document. The principles covered in that section apply to all high bandwidth DMA masters (for example Platform Designer (Standard) DMA Controller components, integrated DMA controllers in custom peripherals) and related buffering in the FPGA core that access HPS resources (for example HPS SDRAM) through the FPGA-to-SDRAM and FPGA-to-HPS bridge ports, not just tightly coupled Arm* CPU accelerators.
