A.5.2 Data port signals
The data port is a 64-bit wide read/write AXI port. The standard AXI read channel, write
channel, and write response channel signal names are suffixed with RW, and the
implementation details of the port are:
• AWID[3:0], WID[3:0], BID[3:0], ARID[3:0], and RID[3:0] signals are not
implemented
• the write data bus is implemented as WDATARW[63:0], and therefore the write strobe
signal is implemented as WSTRBRW[7:0]
• the read data bus is implemented as RDATARW[63:0]
• the ARSIDEBANDRW[4:0] output and AWSIDEBANDRW[4:0] output signals are
implemented to indicate shared and inner cacheable accesses
• the WRITEBACK output signal is implemented to indicate cache line evictions.
Table A-7 on page A-9 gives more information about the data port AXI implementation. See the
AMBA
®
AXI Protocol V1.0 Specification for details of the other signals on this port.
Table A-6 Instruction read port AXI signal implementation
Name Direction Type Description
ARLENI[3:0] Output Read Burst length that gives the exact number of transfers:
b0000, 1 data transfer
b0001, 2 data transfers
b0010, 3 data transfers
b0011, 4 data transfers, maximum for the instruction read port
ARSIZEI[2:0] Output Read Burst size, always set to b011, indicating 64-bit transfer
ARBURSTI[1:0] Output Read Burst type:
b01, INCR incrementing burst
b10, WRAP Wrapping burst
ARLOCKI[1:0] Output Read Lock type, always set to b00, indicating normal access
ARSIDEBANDI[4:0] Output - Indicates accesses to shared and inner cacheable memory
