23.1.2 Configure FIC for Master or Slave Interface

FIC_0 and FIC_1 are configured individually through the Libero SoC MSS configurator. There are two options:

• The MSS is the master and the fabric has the slave (HM – hard master).
• The fabric has the master and the MSS is the slave (FM – fabric master).

The MSS side of the FIC has two (master and slave) AHB-Lite interfaces to the AHB bus matrix, as shown in Figure 23-2. On the fabric side of the FIC, the master and slave interfaces can be AHB-Lite or APB. Both interfaces on the fabric side always uses the same protocol, either AHB-Lite or APB. However, it is possible to have master and slave at the same time.
