AMBA Crossbar Switch (AXBS)
16.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the multi-port crossbar switch (AXBS), which supports simultaneous connections
between six master ports and six slave ports. The AXBS supports a 32-bit address bus width and a 64-bit
data bus width at all master and slave ports.

16.1.2 AXBS Controller Configuration
The AMBA Crossbar Switch (AXBS) supports six masters running at system frequency. The master data
bus width is 64 bits. Table 16-1 summarizes the crossbar master port assignments and the Master IDs.
