Note: The list does not include clock and reset signal types. The Video and Image Processing Suite IP
cores do not support Avalon-MM interfaces in multiple clock domains. Instead, the Avalon-MM
slave interfaces must operate synchronously to the main clock and reset signals of the IP core. The
Avalon-MM slave interfaces must operate synchronously to this clock.
The control interfaces of the Video and Image Processing Suite IP cores that do not use a
waitrequest
signal, exhibit the following transfer properties:
• Zero wait states on write operations
• Two wait states on read operation
Avalon-MM Master Interfaces
The Video and Image Processing Suite IP cores use a common type of Avalon-MM master interface for
access to external memory.
Connect these master interfaces to external memory resources through arbitration logic such as that
provided by the system interconnect fabric.
Specification of the Type of Avalon-MM Master Interfaces
The Avalon-MM master interfaces only use certain signals for Video and Image Processing Suite IP cores.
Table 2-13: Avalon-MM Master Interface Signal Types
The table below lists the signals that the Avalon-MM master interfaces use in the Video and Image Processing
Suite IP cores. The unused signals are not listed.
