Step 2: Infer Clock, Reset, AXI Interfaces and associate Them with a Clock - 2023.1 English - XD099

Here you first use the ipx::infer_bus_interface command to infer ap_clk and ap_rst_n as AXI bus signals. Generally, if ap_clk is the only clock you used in the RTL kernel, this command can be omitted. If you use more clocks (ap_clk_2, ap_clk_3, …) in the design, you must use the ipx::infer_bus_interface command to infer the ports explicitly.

ipx::infer_bus_interface ap_clk xilinx.com:signal:clock_rtl:1.0 [ipx::current_core]
ipx::infer_bus_interface ap_rst_n xilinx.com:signal:reset_rtl:1.0 [ipx::current_core]

All AXI interfaces will be inferred automatically. In this design, these AXI ports include: a control AXI slave port s_axi_control, four AXIS slave ports axis_slv0 ~ 3 and four AXIS master ports axis_mst0 ~ 3.

Then you use the ipx::associate_bus_interfaces command to associate the automatically inferred AXI interfaces and reset signal to ap_clk.

ipx::associate_bus_interfaces -busif s_axi_control  -clock ap_clk [ipx::current_core]
ipx::associate_bus_interfaces -busif axis_mst0      -clock ap_clk [ipx::current_core]
  ...
ipx::associate_bus_interfaces -busif axis_slv0      -clock ap_clk [ipx::current_core]
  ...
ipx::associate_bus_interfaces -clock ap_clk -reset ap_rst_n [ipx::current_core]
