The AMD Versalâ„¢ adaptive SoC programmable NoC system address map defines the default address locations of slaves in the Versal device. The address map is built into the integrated interconnect of the NoC. The NoC provides some capabilities to perform address re-mapping which allow the address map to be customized to the target application.

Note: Refer to the Versal Adaptive SoC Technical Reference Manual (AM011) or the Versal AI Edge Series Gen 2 and Prime Series Gen 2 Technical Reference Manual (AM026) for the system address map table.

Address Regions

DDR_CH0
Address region DDR_CH0 comprises multiple sub-regions: DDR_LOW0, DDR_LOW1, DDR_LOW2, and DDR_LOW3, totaling 1 TB of space. The low 2 GB of that space, DDR_LOW0, is addressable by 32-bit address masters. Address regions DDR_CH1, DDR_CH2, DDR_CH3, and DDR_CH4 each can be divided into two sub-regions that can map to independent memory controllers.
PS
The various PS slave regions (LPD_AFI_FS, FPD_AFI_0, FPD_AFI_1, QSPI, PCIe_0, PMC, STM_CORESIGHT, CPMx, FPD_SLAVES, and LPD_SLAVES) have fixed address regions within the low 4 GB of the address space to allow for access by 32-bit masters.
PMC_ALIAS
The PMC_ALIAS regions provide access to the address space of the PMC block in one SLR from masters in other SLRs. For example, access to the PMC in SLR1 from SLR0 would be through the PMC_ALIAS_1 address region.
PS_to_PL
The PS_to_PL address region provides direct access from masters in the PS to slaves in the PL through the AFI interface. This region is not accessible from the NoC.
PL_LO and PL_HI
The PL_LO, and PL_HI regions do not have dedicated address decoders. Transactions to these regions must use the fixed destination ID, a master defined destination ID, or an address remap register.

If a transaction is being routed using the AXI address and the incoming address does not hit in any address matcher or fall in the PL_LO or PL_HI spaces, an AXI DECERR is generated and an interrupt status bit is set to indicate an address map error. Transactions that fall in the PL_LO or PL_HI spaces but do not hit in a remap register and hence do not receive a valid destination ID can still be injected into the NoC routing fabric. In this case an NSU can be configured as an error slave to receive such invalid transactions. The error slave is configured to return a DECERR instead of a SLVERR.
