AXI4: Unaligned read transactions

Hi guys,

I'm new to the AXI ecosystem.

However, I have one question related to unaligned read transfers.


Does AXI4 support unaligned read transfers although er are no strobe lines?

If so, which data on the bus is written?

To make it easier, discuss it on the following example:

We have a memory with address 0 to 8 with the following content:


AddressContent
0x00x11
0x10x22
0x20x33
0x30x44
0x40x55
0x50x66
0x60x77
0x70x88
0x80x99

I have a bus width of 32 bit, a burst size of 32 bit, a burst length of 1. If I read from address 0x1,

which data does the host get? Does it get the 0x44332211?

Applying a burst length of 2 to the same example. Would this then return: 0x44332211 0x88776655?

Best regards,

Martin
