how to package FSM based module as AXI Lite slave ...

abhinav6 · ‎08-09-2017

Hello, I am doing project which involves image filtering, so my module takes 3 pixel one by one, does some processing and at each pixel input, state of module(it has three states FSM) change at rising edge of clock. But now i want to package it as AXI Lite slave, So where should i connect the clock of my module so that each time i write slv register of AXI slave the clock of my module gets a rising edge(so that state change with each write of slave register of AXI).
I am new to this field and still an undergraduate student. Any help will be appreciated.

Within Vivado, under the Tools menu there is "Create and Package New IP ...". You can create a new IP block with an AXI4-Lite interface. This will produce a file that you can modify, and make one of the registers external to the entity.

If you are looking for a pulse, I would free-run the clock, and generate a clock_enable ( ce ) from the rising edge of the register going from 0 to 1 ( or between any two values ).

    -- previous value of axi4-lite register 
    signal register_last_s : std_logic_vector(31 downto 0);
    
    -- clock enable
    signal ce_s : std_logic;

begin

    -- clock enable based on edge detect of axi4-lite register
    process ( aclk )
    begin
        if ( rising_edge( aclk ) ) then

             -- defaults
             register_last_s <= register_s;
             ce_s <= '0';

             -- edge detect

             if ( register_last_s = X"00000000" and register_s = X"00000001" ) then
                  ce_s <= '1';
             end if;

        end if;
    end process;

Note: I did not compile the code above, it is intended as a reference

Hopefully that gets you started.

Hey Thanks for response, So are saying that i should make following changes in auto generated code AXI Lite
1. Create reg clk to feed my module as clk

2. In case statement where it write data in slave register , make this clock go high.
3. And when all the other cases run make this clock low again.
Is there any better way of making this clock low again?

This is the auto generated code
