burst length of AXI.

"I want to create simple tasks to send address and data from the master to the slave without any burst-length violations, making sure to include wstrb.

When an AXI4 master and AXI3 slave are connected via an NoC bus and perform transactions, the AXI4 master is set with awburst = 1, awlen = 1, awsize = 2, and wdata is 64-bit. Meanwhile, the AXI3 slave is configured to receive inputs with awburst = 1, awlen = 1, awsize = 2, and wdata is fixed at 32-bit.

I think that if the master sends a 64-bit transfer in one burst, and the slave receives it as two 32-bit transfers, there shouldn’t be any protocol issues. However, GPT suggests that the awlen of the AXI4 master and AXI3 slave must match to avoid burst-length violations. If I make awlen match, it will change the original behavior I intended.

In what cases does a burst-length violation occur?"

  • When any interconnect is used to connect a 64-bit source to a 32-bit destination, it has to downsize the width of the transaction, resulting in a single beat transactions being converted into a 2-beat transaction.

    So no issues here as far as I can see, other than "GPT" making some strange statements.

    For clarity, what is "GPT" ?
