AXI Interconnect and AXI Smartconnect

[joe306]

Hello, quick question for the forum members. I'm a little confused when to use the AXI Smartconnect and AXI Interconnect are they the same?

Thank you

Joe

Hi @joe306 

I'm not sure, but I heard it. The different is performance of AXI transaction.

AXI Smartconnect is higher performance than AXI Interconnect.

But, I don't know the detail.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,

Hi @joe306 

I think that it makes decision on a case-by-case. (port number, transfer size, requirement time and so on.)

But I recommend to use AXI Smartconnect.

Will do! Thank you very much.

Hello, on the ZCU106 board the Connection Wizard used AXI Interconnect:

I'm trying to change it to the Smart Connect:

The number of clocks and resets is limited. Why is that?

Thank you,

Joe
