3.2. Intel Agilex® 7 M-Series EMIF Sequencer
The Intel Agilex® 7 M-Series EMIF sequencer is fully hardened in silicon, with executable code to handle protocols and topologies. Hardened RAM contains the calibration algorithm.
The Intel Agilex® 7 M-Series EMIF sequencer is responsible for the following operations:
- Initializes memory devices.
- Calibrates the external memory interface.
- Governs the hand-off of control to the memory controller.
- Handles recalibration requests and debug requests.
- Handles all supported protocols and configurations.
