Introduction
This article describe the bus interface communication between the i.MX6UL(L) and the spartan6. In i.MX6UL(L) the bus used to make communication with the FPGA is named EIM for External Interface Module. All description of this bus can be found under the i.MX6UL(L) reference manual in chapter 21 (page 821).
Simplified view
Normal communication between i.MX6UL(L) processor and Spartan6 fpga is done with black following signals :
- EIM_BCLK : Clock
- EIM_DA[15:0]: 16bits data and address bus
- EIM_LBA (ADV): Signal used for data/address muxing
- EIM_RW: Read/Write control signal
- EIM_CS0: Chip select
Gray following signals can be used by EIM (External Interface Memory), but not used in default configuration :
- EIM_EB0: Select byte 0 on bus
- EIM_EB1: Select byte 1 on bus
- OE : Output enable
- EIM_CLK0: second clock (EIM_ACLK)
Blue following signals are used for FPGA configuration from imx. Some EIM (black) signals are also used for it.
- FPGA_INITB: Initialize FPGA
- FPGA_PROGRAM : Program (configure) FPGA
- FPGA_DONE: FPGA configuration is done.
Default configuration on CSx
Clocks
The clock used to clock the FPGA is EIM_BCLK (IO_L1P_CCLK_2(N12) and IO_L29P_GCLK3_2(N8)) and is configured to 99 MHz.
Chip Select
The EIM memory space is mapped into 128 MB total memory space in the processor memory. This memory space begin at address 0x50000000.
| Start address | End address | Size | Name |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0x5000_0000 | 0x57FF_FFFF | 128 MB | EIM (NOR/SRAM) |
The total 128 MB of memory can be divided among the EIM four chip selects. See reference manual of i.MX6ULL for more information.
Timings
Read
- U-Boot: To read one 16 bits value in 0 (0x50000000 in i.MX) do :
BIOS> md.w 50000000 1
- Linux: To read one 16 bits value in 0 (0x50000000 in i.MX) do :
# devmem 0x50000000 16
- Bus timings are following :
Write
- U-Boot: To write one 16 bits value in 0 (0x50000000 in i.MX) do :
BIOS> mw.w 50000000 CAFE
- Linux: To write one 16 bits value in 0 (0x50000000 in i.MX) do :
# devmem 0x50000000 16 0xCAFE

FPGA Interrupt
To generate an IRQ from the FPGA to the i.MX, the pin FPGA_INITB is used by default. It correspond to GPIO4_IO16 on i.MX.
