2.2.3.1. HPS–FPGA Memory-Mapped Interfaces

The HPS–FPGA memory-mapped interfaces provide the major communication channels between the HPS and the FPGA fabric. The HPS–FPGA memory-mapped interfaces include:

  • FPGA–to–HPS bridge—a high–performance bus with a configurable data width of 32, 64, or 128 bits, allowing the FPGA fabric to master transactions to the slaves in the HPS. This interface allows the FPGA fabric to have full visibility into the HPS address space. This interface also provides access to the coherent memory interface
  • HPS–to–FPGA bridge—a high–performance interface with a configurable data width of 32, 64, or 128 bits, allowing the HPS to master transactions to slaves in the FPGA fabric
  • Lightweight HPS–to–FPGA bridge—an interface with a 32–bit fixed data width, allowing the HPS to master transactions to slaves in the FPGA fabric
