Abstract
In aspects of serial interface for FPGA prototyping, an advanced crossbar interconnect (AXI) bridge structure enables serial data communication between field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) in a system-on-chip (SoC). The AXI bridge structure includes a parallel interface configured to receive AXI data signals from an AXI component implemented at a first FPGA. A transmit (TX) engine is configured to packetize the AXI data signals into an AXI data packet, and transmit the AXI data packet to a second FPGA via a serial link. The AXI bridge structure also includes a receive (RX) engine configured to receive an additional AXI data packet from the second FPGA via the serial link, and extract AXI data signals from the additional AXI data packet. The parallel interface is further configured to provide the additional AXI data signals to the AXI component.
