Overview
The AXI External Peripheral Controller (AXI EPC IP Core) supports data transfers between the AXI4 Interface and external synchronous and/or asynchronous peripheral dices evices such as USB and LAN devices, which have processor interface. Examples of peripheral devsupported by the AXI EPC include the 10/100 non-PCI Ethernet single chip (SMSC LAN91C111) from SMSC and CY7C67300 USB Controller from Cypress Semiconductor devices.
Key features
- Connects as a 32-bit slave on AXI4-Lite Interface
- Byte enable support
- Parameterized support of up to four external peripheral devices with each device configured with separate base address and high address range
- Supports both synchronous and asynchronous access modes of peripheral devices with the support for a separate clock domain for synchronous peripheral devices
- Supports both multiplexed and non-multiplexed address and data buses
- The data width of peripheral devices is independently configured to 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit with the provision to enable data width matching when the AXI data width is greater than that of peripheral device
- Configurable timing parameters for peripheral bus interface
- Tested with the SMSC LAN91C111 and the Cypress CY7C67300 USB Controller devices

Creating the Xilinx Zynq-7000 Extensible Processing Platform
In March of 2011, Xilinx officially announced the first four devices of its new 28nm Zynq-7000 Extensible Processing Platform (EPP) family. Each of these devices merges an ARM dual-core Cortex-A9 MPCore processing system with a NEON media engine and a double-precision floating-point unit on the same IC, along with Level 1 and Level 2 caches, memory controllers, large programmable-logic blocks and a slew of commonly used peripherals.
Zynq-7000 EPP sets stage for new era of innovations
Xilinx's Zynq-7000 Extensible Processing Platform family mates a dual ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processor-based system with programmable logic and hardened IP.
Designing FPGA Based Reliable Systems Using Virtex-5 System Monitor
The fast track development and 24x7 operations have put tremendous pressure on the servers, networking systems and communication equipments. It has become necessary that these systems should operate reliably irrespective of the change in external operating environment like the temperature, humidity, and power fluctuations or, on chip conditions like on-chip temperature, internal voltage levels etc. Measuring the reliability of these physical systems is must for every operational unit.
