### PCIE AXI BRAM Controller Design and Implementation In designing a PCI Express (PCIE) system that interfaces with an AXI BRAM controller, several key components must be considered to ensure proper functionality and performance. The integration of these elements is critical for applications requiring high-speed data transfer between the PCIE interface and on-chip memory resources. #### Overview of PCIE Integration with AXI BRAM The Xilinx Application Note xapp1171 provides detailed guidance on implementing a PCI Express Endpoint-DMA Initiator Subsystem which can serve as a foundation for integrating an AXI BRAM controller into a PCIE-based design[^3]. This subsystem facilitates direct memory access operations over the PCIE bus, enabling efficient communication between external devices and internal memories like BRAMs within the FPGA fabric. For specific details about configuring and using the AXI BRAM Controller IP core: - **Configuration Parameters**: Adjust parameters such as address width, data width, and burst length according to application requirements. - **Interface Protocols**: Ensure compatibility by adhering strictly to AMBA AXI protocol specifications when connecting the AXI BRAM controller to other modules or buses in your design. An illustrative code snippet demonstrating how one might instantiate an AXI BRAM controller module could look similar to this: ```verilog // Example instantiation template for AXI_BRAM_Controller_v4_0 axi_bram_ctrl #( .C_S_AXI_ADDR_WIDTH(10), // Address Width .C_S_AXI_DATA_WIDTH(32) // Data Width ) axi_bram_inst ( .s_axi_aclk(clk), // Input clock signal .s_axi_aresetn(rst_n), // Active low reset input .s_axi_awaddr(addr), // Write address channel signals... ... ); ``` This Verilog fragment shows basic configuration options available during instantiation; however, actual implementations may require additional settings based upon project-specific needs. To further explore practical aspects related to hardware description languages used alongside PCIe designs involving AXI interconnectivity, refer back to relevant sections provided in ug586 concerning 7 Series FPGAs Memory Interface Solutions where applicable examples are discussed extensively regarding DDR interfacing but also offer valuable insights pertinent here too[^2].
