The AMBA AXI4 Interconnect core connects one or more AXI memory-mapped master devices to one ormore memory-mapped slave devices. The AMBA AXI protocol supports high-performance, highfrequency system designs. Inside the AXI Interconnect core, theAXI4 Crossbar core routes the traffic between the Slave Ports (SP) and Master Ports (MP). The convention followed here is that the master-side ports connect to external upstream masters, while the slave-side ports connect to external downstream slaves.
