XSPI Controller IIP

Overview

XSPI Controller is full-featured, easy-to-use, synthesizable design, compatible with standard protocol of JEDEC XSPI specification. Through its XSPI Controller compatibility, it provides a simple interface to a wide range of low-cost devices. XSPI Controller IIP is proven in FPGA environment.The host interface of the XSPI Controller can be AMBA APB, AMBA AHB, AMBA AHB-Lite, AMBA AXI, AMBA AXI-Lite, VCI, OCP, Avalon, PLB, Tilelink, Wishbone or Custom protocol.

XSPI Controller IIP is supported natively in Verilog and VHDL
