The memory mapped AXI4 interface runs on the ap_clk clock domain. The signals follow the specification as defined in the Vivado Design Suite: AXI Reference Guide (UG1037). The Video Frame Buffer Read and Video Frame Buffer Write support the pixel formats with raster scan order in memory as described in the following table.

  1. AMD only formats M – Noncontiguous planes (Chroma plane does not start at the end of Luma plane).

The following tables explain the expected pixel mappings in memory for each of the mentioned listed formats.

Note: RGB formats are stored in memory in RGB order, which is different from the pixel mapping in AXI4-Stream Video IP and System Design Guide (UG934).
