3.1.4. MPFE Subsystem

The following table lists the support status of components integrated into the MPFE subsystem. The table also shows any component limitations in the component and the object created in the Intel® Simics® model of the Agilex™ 5 HPS.

Table 17.  Support Status of Components Integrated into the MPFE Subsystem and Their Limitations
Component Supported? Support Status | Limitations | Objects
MPFE Subsystem Yes
  • Limitation: This is just a memory stub model with read/write capability that works as a simple interceptor for memory access, which is cache coherent on the interfaces.
  • Object: system.board.fpga.soc_inst.hps_subsys.agilex_hps.mpfe
