AXI4LV: Design and Implementation of a Full-Speed AMBA AXI4-Burst DMA Interface for LabVIEW FPGA

The Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture Advanced eXtensible Interface is a memory mapped protocol intended for internal System on Chip communications. However, there is no mean to directly exchange data between AXI devices and LabVIEW applications. This work proposes a novel and streamlined bridge solution to transfer data directly and effectively from/to an AXI target memory and any LabVIEW FPGA application, essential to integrate AXI-based architectures into PXI FPGA peripheral modules. The block diagram of the proposed IP solution and synthesis results are presented for target programmable devices of interest
