A.9 ACP interface signals
The AXI protocol supports clock, configuration, and data handling signals if the processor implements
the ACP slave interface to an external master to make coherent request to the shared L2 cache of the
cluster.
This interface exists only if the processor is configured to have the ACP interface.
All ACP channels must be balanced with respect to CLKIN and timed relative to ACLKENS.
Table A-11 ACP clock and Configuration signals
Signal Direction Description
ACLKENS Input AXI slave bus clock enable.
AINACTS Input
ACP master is inactive and is not participating in coherency. There must be no outstanding transactions
when the master asserts this signal, and while it is asserted the master must not send any new transactions:
0
ACP Master is active.
1
ACP Master is inactive.
This signal must be asserted before the processor enters the low-power L2 WFI state.
