1.2.1. ARM11 AHB-Lite master bus to AXI

The ARM11 AHB-Lite to AXI bridge, A11AhbLiteMToAxi, enables an ARM11 AHB-Lite master to connect to an AXI slave or interconnect. ARM11 AHB-Lite masters support AHB-Lite with the additional features of unaligned accesses, exclusive accesses, and extended caching control information.

The AXI protocol supports all these features, and so they are preserved across the bridge. The bridge does not modify data paths, so you must route these directly between the AHB and AXI domains. Figure 1.2 shows an example application.
