6.1. Functional Description
- Connection points interface the Interconnect to masters and slaves of other HPS components.
- Datapath switches transport data across the network, from initiator connection points to target connection points.
- Service network allows you to update master and slave peripheral security features and access Interconnect registers.
The system interconnect is also connected to the Cache Coherency Unit (CCU). The CCU provides additional routing between the MPU, FPGA-to-HPS bridge, MPFE, GIC, and on-chip RAM.
The system interconnect has a transaction-based architecture that functions as a partially-connected fabric. Not all masters can access all slaves.
Each system interconnect packet carries a transaction between a master and a slave. The interconnect provides interface widths up to 128 bits, connecting to the L4 slave buses and to HPS and FPGA masters and slaves.
The system interconnect provides low-latency connectivity to the following interfaces:
- HPS-to-FPGA bridge
- Lightweight HPS-to-FPGA bridge
- FPGA-to-HPS bridge
