AXI

What is byte lane in AXI?

Parents
  • The signals used to transfer data (RDATA and WDATA) are split into lanes, where each lane is 8 bits. So a 32-bit bus would give you four lanes.

    Lanes become important when you are transferring quantities of data smaller than the bus width. For example, a 16-bit write on a 32-bit bus.

    For why it matters, see chapter 9 of the AMBA4 AXI specification.
