Using an AXI External Master Connector, an AXI master device outside of the embedded system module can be connected, via embedded module ports, to the slave interface of an AXI Interconnect IP with no intervening logic. The axi_ext_master_conn IP provides the port connection points necessary to represent the connectivity in the system, plus a set of parameters used to configure the slave interface of the connected AXI Interconnect module.

Key Features

• A set of ports comprising a standard AXI slave interface, modeled as an I/O interface of the IP, which can be made external using XPS tools, thereby providing the necessary signals that can be connected to an AXI master device in the top-level system.
• One AXI master bus-interface that connects to an AXI Interconnect in the embedded system.
• Directly connects the external slave interface ports to the AXI master bus-interface; contains no logic or storage.
