Important: The CIPS IP is applicable to most devices with the Arm® Cortex®-A72-based processing system. The relevant families are Versal AI Edge Series, Versal AI Core Series, Versal Prime Series, and Versal Premium Series.

The following devices use the PS Wizard IP within Vivado, but have a processing system architecture like what is described in this section: VP1902 and VM2152.

The PS, PMC, and CPM modules are grouped together and configured using the Control, Interface, and Processing System (CIPS) IP core as shown in the following figure.

Note: The Versal adaptive SoC includes multiple power domains. In the PS, the RPU is in the low-power domain (LPD), the APU is in the full-power domain (FPD), and the platform management controller (PMC) is in the PMC power domain. There are two implementations of the CPM depending on the target device capability: CPM4 that is compliant with the PCI Express Base Specification Revision 4.0 and CPM5 that is compliant with the PCI Express Base Specification Revision 5.0. CPM4 is fully powered by the PL domain while CPM5 is powered by its own dedicated supply (VCC_CPM5) as well as the PS LPD. For more information on the power domains, see the Versal Adaptive SoC Technical Reference Manual (AM011).
