Can I connect the MpSoC peripherals (uart, DP, Ethernet, SDs, etc) to the PL (without using the PS)

Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to access the peripherals directly from the PL without running any software on the PS. Would it be this the use of an AXI Slave? if so is there any IP open IP to control the communications with these peripherals?

The reason of asking this is to be able to do one of these things:

  • Read a video input wired to the PL, perform some transformation and output the resulting image to the DP.
  • Do a raw reading directly from the SD port available on the ultra96.
  • Communicate with the PL using the onboard UART on the Ultra96.
  • Use the Ethernet peripheral, generate some traffic from the PL and output the result to a PL IO pin.

I could even use a soft core cpu to implement the drivers but I would like to know till which extension the PS can be ignored and the PL can control elements from the MpSoC

    This is discussed at the same link I provided on your other question. The answer is on slide 2: https://www.xilinx.com/video/soc/mio-emio-configuration-zynq-7000.html

    Maybe try it with one pin? It 'll show reality vs assumption.

    Thank you shabaz. As I can see it is not possible because the controlling interfaces are mapped in PS memory and that would involve that necessarily involved the PS.

    What looks like it is possible is to use EMIO to route the external interface of some of this peripherals and made the external interface available for the PL or the PL pins.

    However what I think I can do is read/write the PS memory from the PL using an AXI IP in the PL, hence I should be able to control the PS peripherals from the PL, Am I right?
