Crossbar Switch (XBAR)
7.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the multi-port crossbar switch (XBAR), which supports simultaneous connections 
between master ports and five slave ports. XBAR supports a 32-bit address bus width and a 64-bit data bus 
width at all master and slave ports. 
7.1.1 Block Diagram
Figure 7-1 shows a block diagram of the crossbar switch.

Table 7-1 gives the crossbar switch port for each master and slave, and the assigned and fixed ID number 
for each master. The following table shows the master ID numbers as they relate to the master port 
numbers:
