3.3.1. Clock Interface

Platform Designer generates the clock source BFM for the FPGA-to-HPS alternate clock source.

Platform Designer generates the clock source BFM for each clock output interface from the HPS component. For HPS-to-FPGA user clocks, specify the BFM clock rate in the User clock frequency field in the HPS Clocks page when instantiating the HPS component in Platform Designer.

The HPS-to-FPGA debug APB* interface generates a clock output to the FPGA, named h2f_debug_apb_clock. In simulation, the clock source BFM also represents this clock output’s behavior.

The Intel clock source BFM application programming interface (API) applies to all the BFMs listed in this table. Your Verilog interfaces use the same API.
