AMBA (Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture)

[jatin7797]

Hi,

AMBA is used as the on chip bus in a SoC (System on Chip) design.

I have some questions about AMBA AHB.

1) What is boundry cross? And why the boundry cross is set to 1K in AHB protocol?

2) What is point to point connection in AMBA, concept used in AMBA ?

3) Is it possible to cancel a transfer by bus master?

4) AMBA is basically used for ASIC design or for FPGA design?

5) What is the concept of global HREADY? (I have read from many sources stating that HREADY is high(1) when transfer has finished on the bus & sometimes driven low(0) to extend a transfer)

Any suggestion & help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
