2.4. HPS EMIF

The HPS supports one DDR4 interface.
Note:
  • In Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition version 19.2, the HPS EMIF conduit can only be disabled if both the FPGA-to-HPS interface is unused, and the SDRAM tab enable box is unchecked.
  • In Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition version 19.3, the SDRAM tab will be removed, and the HPS EMIF conduit will be enabled or disabled through the FPGA-to-HPS interface used or unused.

In the following figure, the MPFE path is selected by checking the EMIF_CONDUIT_Enable button so that the HPS can access the DDR4 SDRAM.

In the following figure, you can select the MPFE BYPASS mode by setting the FPGA-to-HPS interface to "Unused", and unchecking the EMIF_CONDUIT_Enable button. In this case, the HPS cannot access the DDR4 SDRAM, which allows for the FPGA fabric to directly control the DDR4 SDRAM.
