The content is so precise.. thank you for sharing such details makes a person understand without any back ground. I was hoping there was yet to come from this series sad to see we ended in slide number 55 where the presentation was intended for 93 slides
Should have started with this rather than dive straight into the ARM spec sheet. A really helpful playlist and explained in a lucid and concise manner. Well done!
Thanks Dillon Huff Bro, you are really really great and helpful. This series help me lots for understanding the standard spec. Your videos are pure desi ghee for me. Thanks a lot. Keep making these kind of video.
Thanks Dillon, you made it simple and you are doing wonderful. I hope you get more inspiration from surrounding to create more such informative videos.
Thanks a ton Dillon for explaining AXI protocol in a simple way. I tried reading the user manual of ARM but it was a bit difficult to understand but, I guess now I will be able to understand it easily.
This is a very informative playlist. Hard to find such videos on digital electronics on RUclips. You should come up with more playlists on other protocols.
That was a great explanation!!!.. your videos have a habit of making complex things look easier!.... If possible, please post an example of write bursts using WID .
Hi Dillon! Again, great explanation! I'll leave thumbs up as always. I've just watched your 'What is AXI' series, and it very good. I'd just suggest that you add one more video to this series, explaining unalinged write bursts, as I believe that they are mandatory for understanding the AXI any further + it's a good way to explain some meaningfull responses other than 'OKAY'. Thanks and cheers!
@@DillonHuff Glad you agree :) And the time issue, oh boy, I'm very well familiar with this problem :) Hope you get some time soon to do this, as I believe you'd nail it. Cheers!

At 3:23 is the timing diagram correct? How can the memory set wready high before receiving the write strobe at the rising edge (red dotted rising edge)? Is the memory already expecting the strobe sio the wready is high even before actually receiving the data or is there just an error in the timing diagram?
I have never used PCIe, so I don't really feel qualified to make a PCIe video. That said a few people have asked for it, so maybe I will look in to the protocol and do an explainer video on it. Thanks for your comment!
Hi Dillon, Thanks for the video.. I have a doubt like Why AXI Write transaction has response(sent by the slave) at the end of burst whereas for the AXI read transaction has the response(again sent by the slave) for every beat in a burst.
In this 5 part video, you didnt mention anything about ARID and AWID. I think its an important aspect for read and write transactions. I was looking for information on ARCACHE/AWCACHE and found your part series. Great work. Can you please add another part jumping on to ARCACHE/AWCACHE?
The master and slave are two sides of the same transaction, but the slave receives addresses while the master generates addresses. Not sure if that answers your question.
Hello, thank you for the video. I have a question: the scenario is a master connected to a slave, where the master is a Central DMA (from Xilinx), that transfers data from a BRAM1 to a BRAM2. The connection is done using an AXI4 Full, with 32-bit data width. When asking the transfer of 16 32-bit words among the two memories, the transfer is done using only one burst with 16 beats (each beat with size 32-bit) , with the BRESP at the end. When asking the transfer of 17 32-bit words, the transfer is done using two bursts: one of 16 beats and another of 1 beat (in all the cases, the beat has 32-bit size). In this second case, the two BRESP referred to the two bursts arrive only after the two burst transfers. My question is: in your opinion, is this the correct expected behaviour of the BRESP signalling? Thank you for any feedback.
If the two bursts are done with different write IDs then there is no restriction on how they are ordered. If the two bursts have the same ID I don't know if that is legal. Section A5 (Transaction Ordering) of the AXI specification may have a more precise answer. Hope this helps.
How can I use axi 4 full custom package to send burst data. I used memcpy in the ARM, But burst transmission did not occurred! My axi full package is slave and connected to axi master GPO .
Good video. Can the read and write ports operate independently and simultaneously ? I understand that, if the RAM is not dual ported (i.e. DRAM) some controller on the slave side will arbitrate the accesses it, but is it possible in principle (i.e. does it violate the AXI protocol using them at the same time) ? This would be useful if, for example, I have two processes, one that always write to the memory and one that always reads. In this case I could attach one to the write and one to the read port and let them operate simultaneously ?
Thanks Ozne_. "Independently and simultaneously" is a vague phrase. The AXI4 specification chapter A6 (Ordering Model) contains detailed information about transaction order. Basically streams of transactions in the same direction on the same transaction ID must look in order to the master, and the effect of any transaction (read or write) that the slave has sent a response to must be observed by all transactions issued after the response regardless of transaction ID.
What happens when - 1) User sends more data then specified in the 'AWLEN' field ? 2) User does not set the 'WLAST' field while sending the last data ? PS - Your videos are really helpful. Thankyou.
Both of those situations are violations of the AXI protocol, so they are undefined behavior. What happens will depend on the details of the AXI implementation.

This channel is a treasure
This series saved me lots of time reading the standard and I can jump to AXI 5 now
Keep up the good work
Thanks Abdulrahman! I appreciate it.
I felt AXI was very Complex initially but after watching your video series on AXI, now i am pretty much confident on AXI basics. thanks a lot Dillon
You've done a great job Dillon. You should be proud of your channel, it's extremely underrated.
Thank you Crate Surprise! I'm glad you are enjoying the content

I'm glad this video helped! Those manuals are precise, but they aren't very good for understanding the basics, or the rationale behind AXI.

Can you write any two test cases for AXI and APB
Hey, what do you mean by "the memory isn't ready yet" for the wready signal? As in the burst controller hasn't generated an address yet?
Thank you very much for the good explanations :)
Glad you liked the explanation!
this video saved my a$$ from reading the whole 300+ pdf specification
What's the difference between bresp and bvalid since they all indicate wirte success.
I have a question Huff. So you have explained this based on memory as slave right all these signals will be opposite when we take a master
The master and slave are two sides of the same transaction, but the slave receives addresses while the master generates addresses. Not sure if that answers your question.
@@DillonHuff that clears the doubt. I assume memory is the slave here and say nic400 as master
