Peripheral Architecture
Read requests from the slave configuration bus interface are written to the outbound CMD FIFO (similar to
the write requests). Data is subsequently read from the FIFO and encapsulated into a read request
packet. The packet is encoded and serialized before it is transmitted to the remote device. Next, the
remote device deserializes, decodes the receive data, and writes the receive data to the inbound CMD
FIFO. After reading the address from the FIFO, a master configuration bus interface read operation
initiates in the remote device. When the remote master configuration bus interface receives the read data,
the data is written to the return data FIFO before it is encoded and serialized. When the receive data
reaches the local VLYNQ module, it is deserialized, decoded, and written to the return data FIFO (local
device). Finally, the read data is transferred on the local device’s slave configuration interface.
The data flow between two connected VLYNQ devices with read requests that originate from the DM644x
device is shown in
. The remote VLYNQ device returns the read data. Read data is shown with
dotted arrows.
