2.5.2. Parameters

The Partial Reconfiguration Region Controller IP core supports customization of the following parameters.
Table 42.   Partial Reconfiguration Region Controller Parameter Settings

Parameter

Value

Default

Description

Enable Avalon® -MM CSR register On/Off On

Enables Avalon® memory-mapped CSR registers in the PR region controller.

Disable this option to expose a conduit interface and not instantiate the CSR block.
Enable interrupt port for illegal request On/Off On

Enables the interrupt port for illegal operations in the PR region controller.

Number of freeze interfaces number   Specifies the number of freeze interfaces for freeze operations. You can connect each freeze interface to a freeze bridge or you can use the interface to control other freeze logic.
Enable freeze interface without illegal request port On/Off Off Enables creation of additional freeze interface, without the illegal request port.
Specify the number of freeze interfaces without illegal request port number   Specifies the number of freeze interfaces without an illegal request port for freeze operations. Only available when you turn on Enable freeze interface without illegal request port.
