Overview

The Xilinx® LogiCORE™ IP AXI SmartConnect core connects one or more AXI memory-mapped master devices to one or more memory-mapped slave devices.

The AXI SmartConnect is a Hierarchical IP block that is added to a Vivado® IP Integrator block design in the Vivado Design Suite.

AXI SmartConnect is a drop-in replacement for the AXI Interconnect v2 core. AXI SmartConnect is more tightly integrated into the Vivado design environment to automatically configure and adapt to connected AXI master and slave IP with minimal user intervention.

Key features

  • Up to 16 Slave Interfaces (SI) and up to 16 Master Interfaces (MI) per instance
  • Instances of SmartConnect can be cascaded to interconnect a larger number of masters/slaves or for organizing the interconnect topology
  • AXI Protocol compliant
  • Burst transactions are automatically split, as needed, to remain AXI compliant
  • Interface Data Widths (bits):
    • AXI4 and AXI3: 32,64,128,256,512 or 1024
    • AXI4-Lite: 32 or 64-bit
  • Transactions between interfaces of different data widths are automatically converted by AXI SmartConnect

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.
