1.4.2.2. Add a Pipeline Bridge

  1. In the Library search box, type bridge to filter the component list and show only bridge components.
  2. Select Avalon-MM Pipeline Bridge, and then click Add.
  3. In the parameter editor, under Parameters, type 11 for the Address width.
    This width accommodates the memory span of all memory-mapped components behind the bridge in this system. As you add the other components in the system, you specify their base addresses within the span of the address space.
  4. Accept all other default settings, and then click Finish.
    The pipeline bridge is added to your system with the instance name mm_bridge_0.
  5. On the System Contents tab, right-click mm_bridge_0, click Rename, and then type mm_bridge.
  6. In the Clock column for the mm_bridge clk interface, select clk_0 from the list.
  7. To export the mm_bridge s0 interface, double-click the Export column, and then type slave.
