Microsemi IGLOO2 HPMS FPGA Evaluation Kit Instruction Manual

Microsemi IGLOO2 HPMS FPGA Evaluation Kit

Product Information

The IGLOO2 Peripheral DMA (PDMA) module is a feature of the IGLOO2 FPGA that enables users to initiate transfers between any of the following HPMS/Fabric peripherals:

• High-Performance Memory Subsystem (HPMS)
• Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) fabric peripherals

In order to use the PDMA, users must use System Builder to build a System Builder block that includes the PDMA. From the Device Feature page of System Builder, users need to check the HPMS Peripheral DMA (PDMA) checkbox.

For further details, consult the IGLOO2 User’s Guide.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Use System Builder to build a System Builder block that includes the PDMA.
2. From the Device Feature page of System Builder, check the HPMS Peripheral DMA (PDMA) checkbox.
3. Refer to the IGLOO2 User’s Guide for detailed instructions on using the PDMA.

Configuration Options

The IGLOO2 Peripheral DMA (PDMA) module enables you to initiate transfers between any of the following HPMS/Fabric peripherals:

• eNVM (read only)
• eSRAM
• Fabric Slaves

Configuration

In order to use the PDMA, you must use System Builder to build a System Builder block that includes the PDMA.
From the Device Feature page of System Builder, check the HPMS Peripheral DMA (PDMA) checkbox, as shown in Figure 1.

System Builder builds a block that exposes a Fabric Master port at the top level, as shown in Figure 2. You must connect your Fabric AMBA Master to this port to access the PDMA Configuration registers. Use the Fabric Master to configure Start Address, End Address, number of bytes to transfer, etc. System Builder also exposes the DMA_DMAREADY_FIC_0 and DMA_DMAREADY_FIC1 at the top level.

For details, consult the IGLOO2 User’s Guide.

If you want a Fabric slave to participate in PDMA transfers, you must add it to the appropriate HPMS FIC_0 or FIC_1 Master Subsystem in the Peripherals page of System Builder. Figure 3 shows a User Fabric Slave accessed by the PDMA via FIC_1.
