Overview

The AXI Direct Memory Access (AXI DMA) IP provides high-bandwidth direct memory access between memory and AXI4-Stream-type target peripherals. Its optional scatter gather capabilities also offload data movement tasks from the Central Processing Unit (CPU) in processor based systems. Initialization, status, and management registers are accessed through an AXI4-Lite slave interface.

Key features

  • AXI4 compliant
  • Optional Scatter/Gather (SG) DMA support. When Scatter/gather mode is not selected the IP operates in Simple DMA mode.
  • Primary AXI4 Memory Map and AXI4-Stream data width support of 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, and 1024 bits
  • Optional Data Re-Alignment Engine
  • Optional AXI Control and Status Streams
  • Optional Keyhole support
  • Optional Data Re-Alignment support
  • Optional Micro DMA support

DMA IP Integration

There are many IP’s today . These IP’s can be simple IP’s like Timer to complex IP’s like Accelerators. In Most of the cases IP’s are Integrated in standard way. There are cases where you have the option of Integrating it differently. This goes un-noticed or unable to be implemented due to time constraints. One such IP that would be discussed in this paper is DMA . This paper tries to explain idea of Integrating Direct Memory access(DMA) and Interrupt Control Unit(ICU) differently but final implementation requires some changes in IP. There is a possibility that alternate design explained below may be already implemented.

Moving to AMBA® 5? Your AMBA® 4 IP Can Still Come With You

As SoC architectures adopt AMBA® 5 fabrics and components, many proven IP blocks still rely on AMBA® 4 or earlier interfaces. That creates a common integration problem: how do designers connect newer AMBA® 5 system components to existing IP without redesigning the IP or replacing verified blocks?
