Overview

Included at no additional charge with ISE Embedded, Vivado Design and System Edition software

AXI Performance Monitor has the capability to measure major performance metrics (for AXI4, AXI4-Lite or AXI4-Stream based systems) such as bus latency for specific master/slave, amount of memory traffic for specific duration etc.

Key features

  • AXI4-LIte interface for register configuration
  • Configurable number of monitor slots (max of 8).  Each can be statically configured as AX84 memory mapped (AXI4-MM) or AXI4-Stream
  • Flexible support for monitor slots with any data width, ID width and frequency
  • Optional FIFO at each monitor slot interface for clock domain crossing
  • Free running Global Clock Counter
  • Event Log and Event Count Module
  • Cross probing between Event Count Module and Event Log Module
  • External event can be counted with a maximum of 8. Each external event will have a corresponding Start and Stop signals. External events can also be clock domain crossed
  • Support for ID based filtering (for performance and event logging)
  • Supports 3 mode as Advanced (Legacy mode for Event Logging and Event Counting)
  • Profile: Profile mode provides the event counting functionality for fixed metrics on each slot. The number of counters per slot and the metric for each counter are pre-defined. This mode does not support the AXI4-Stream interface.
  • Trace: race mode provides event logging functionality of the APM with less user configuration than Advanced mode. All the flags are enabled through static configuration. This mode does not support the AXI4-Stream interface

How a MicroBlaze can peaceably coexist with the Zynq SoC

The Xilinx Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC already has plenty of processing power onboard. But the presence of powerful twin Cortex-A9 processors and associated peripherals in Zynq's application processing unit (APU) should not keep you from adding one or more MicroBlaze processors in the same package, if your application would benefit from them.

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.

Designing with Virtex-5 Embedded Tri-Mode Ethernet MACs

In this article, we’ll review the feature set of Ethernet MAC blocks in Virtex-5 devices. We’ll also describe the differences between Virtex-5 and Virtex-4 FX Ethernet MACs, illustrate some potential applications, and describe how to use standard Xilinx tools to integrate an Ethernet MAC into your design.

A Centralized Performance Monitoring Architecture for Heterogeneous Multicore SoCs

In this work, the authors propose a centralized performance monitoring architecture to efficiently collect, correlate, and process architectural events across multiple hardware components. Their design introduces Event Monitoring Units (EVUs) that capture and forward microarchitectural events to an Advanced Performance Monitoring Unit (APMU).
