AXI4-Stream Interconnect

Included at no additional charge with Vivado and ISE Design Suite.

Overview

Included at no additional charge with Vivado and ISE Design Suite.

Xilinx provides the AXI4-Stream Interconnect core which provides capability to connect multiple master/slave AMBA® AXI4-Stream protocol compliant endpoint IP.

The AXI4-Stream Interconnect is a key Interconnect Infrastructure IP which enables connection of heterogeneous master/slave AMBA® AXI4-Stream protocol compliant endpoint IP. The AXI4-Stream Interconnect routes connection from one or more AXI4-Stream master channels to one or more AXI4-Stream slave channels.

Key features

  • Configurable multiple master to multiple slave (up to 16x16) capable cross-point switch.
  • Arbitrary TDATA byte width conversion.
  • Synchronous and asynchronous clock rate conversion.
  • Configurable data-path FIFO buffers including store and forward (packet) capable FIFOs.
  • Optional register slice at boundaries to ease timing closure.
  • Support for multiple clock domains.

Secure Multi-Path Routing with All-or-Nothing Transform for Network-on-Chip Architectures

Ensuring Network-on-Chip (NoC) security is crucial to design trustworthy NoC-based System-on-Chip (SoC) architectures. While there are various threats that exploit on-chip communication vulnerabilities, eavesdropping attacks via malicious nodes are among the most common and stealthy. Although encryption can secure packets for confidentiality, it may introduce unacceptable overhead for resource-constrained SoCs.

Why verification matters in network-on-chip (NoC) design

In this article, we will dive deeper into a comprehensive methodology for formally verifying an NoC, showcasing the approaches and techniques that ensure our NoC designs are robust, efficient, and ready to meet the challenges of modern computing environments.

SoC design: When a network-on-chip meets cache coherency

Many people have heard the term cache coherency without fully understanding the considerations in the context of system-on-chip (SoC) devices, especially those using a network-on-chip (NoC). To understand the issues at hand, it’s first necessary to understand the role of cache in the memory hierarchy.

Accelerating RISC-V development with network-on-chip IP

In the world of system-on-chip (SoC) devices, architects encounter many options when configuring the processor subsystem. Choices range from single processor cores to clusters to multiple core clusters that are predominantly heterogeneous but occasionally homogeneous.

Network-on-chip (NoC) interconnect topologies explained

Today’s complex system-on-chip (SoC) designs can contain between tens to hundreds of IP blocks. Each IP block may have its own data width and clock frequency and employ one of the standard SoC interface protocols: OCP, APB, AHB, AXI, STBus, and DTL. Connecting all these IPs is a significant challenge.
