  • AMBA AHB5 : Stable Between Clock Question

    Hi All,

    I have a question on AMBA5 AHB feature : Stable_between_Clock property

    The AMBA5 AHB Specification describes:

    Signals that are described as being stable are required to remain at the same value when sampled at different rising clock edges in an…

  • About AHB5 protection control signals

    In AHB5, we have extended memory bits as [6:4] hprot. Previously we have [3:0] hprot. For implementation purpose, i treated [6:4] as a separate signal. This separate signal am qualifying based on some filter, just because not to consider for older AHB…

  • AHB amba 5 lite - waited write transfer

    Hello,

    i didnt find at spec any note about the waited write transfer.

    for example 

    T1 : NONSEQ + write transfer  + HREADY is high

    T2: HREADY dropped + HTRANS is idle - HWDATA ?

    does the HWDATA have to be the right data or it can be any junk ? and only when…

  • Questions about Barrier instructions & ACE Barrier transactions

    1. How barrier instructions like `dmb ishld` and `ldar/stlr` translate to ACE barrier transactions?

    I am curious about how barrier instructions which will only affect specific types of memory operations would translate to ACE barrier transactions.

    I supposed…

  • Significance of [MS] and [LS] in big-endian data bus in AHB5 Specification

    Hi,

    As indicated in few previous answers (Link Given below) on the big-endian, I believe that the big-endian type in AHB-Lite Spec is BE32. And further the AHB5 Spec added another type of big-endian as BE8. Hence, the active byte lanes for a 32-bit big…

  • Endian about AHB-Lite and AHB5 Specification

    Hello to all,

    I have a question about AMBA3 AHB-Lite and AHB5 Specification:

    In AMBA3 AHB-Lite Specification, "Table 6-2 Active byte lanes for a 32-bit big-endian data bus" is mean word-invariant big-endian or byte-invariant big-endian? Why its…

  • single-copy atomicity question for AHB5

    Hi all~

    I have some questions about AHB5 specification

    1.If CPU(or another slave) is in 32-bit single-copy atomic group, can I only write/read a byte to it ? (HWDATA/HRDATA is 32bit-width, HBUST=SINGLE, HSIZE='b000)

    2.What is the description "…

  • Please explain some of the new ACE5 signals in relation to the MASTER and INTERCONNECT behavior

    Hi,

    The AMBA5 spec for ACE5 shows some new signals versus ACE4 :

    VAWQOSACCEPT

    VARQOSACCEPT

    AWAKEUP

    ACWAKEUP

    SYSCOREQ

    SYSCOACK

    How are these used in an SOC system ?

    For example, I think but I'm not usre if VAWQOSACCEPT, VARQOSACCEPT is output by each slave…

    Hi ARM/arktos,

    Seems like this online discussion is not working properly.

    I ask a question, you reply, and if I reply the discussion tool doesn't echo back my reply by email.

    So most likely you may not see it.

  • AHB Lite Response

    Hi All,

                               I have doubt in ahb_lite hresp signaling when the address phase is extending.

    In the following diagram transfer address c is extending because of data phase of B.

    In 3rd clk cycle address C is sampled so that shall we expect the…
