RTL for Programable NoC (Modular NoC) Part 1 - Overview
AMD· 2025-07-17 16:01
Challenges with Current NoC Solution - Current NoC IP requires all instances to be placed on a block design canvas, making the block design a bottleneck for teams modifying NoC connectivity or attributes [4][6] - Routing AXI busses through the RTL hierarchy is a tedious process [5][6] - Additional complications arise when considering DFX use cases [6] Modular NoC Solution Overview - The modular NoC solution allows the NoC to be distributed among various design sources and hierarchies, resolving issues with the current solution [7] - The solution comprises three main steps: connecting AXI busses to Xilinx Parameterizable Macros (XPMs), adding constraint files (XDCs) to define connectivity and QoS parameters, and executing the `validate_noc` command [7][9][10] - The `validate_noc` command ensures full connectivity between XPM instances, runs DRCs, and executes the NoC compiler to generate the NoC solution [10][21] Key Features and Benefits - Teams can develop solutions independently, and the tool ensures the NoC is not overcommitted [8][10] - The solution maintains compatibility with the current solution, and simulation, debug flows, Vitis Unified IDE, and system software support are unchanged [11] - The solution is designed with enough flexibility to accommodate future enhancements such as security and isolation features [12] Supported Use Cases - AXI Master in the RTL accessing a port of the DDR memory controller on the block design [25] - A master on the BD accessing a peripheral in the RTL [26] - An RTL master accessing peripherals of the processing subsystem [26] - RTL to RTL NoC transfers [27] Tutorials and Further Learning - A series of tutorials are available for download, covering foundational concepts, DFX basics, advanced NoC properties, advanced DFX topics, and HBM [30]
RTL for Programable NoC (Modular NoC) Part 2 – Adding XPMs
AMD· 2025-07-17 16:00
Welcome to part two of the Modular NoCs series. In this video, you are going to learn about how to add XPMs into your design to utilize the modular NoC. To refresh your memory, the modular NoC solution is comprised of three main steps.Step one is to connect all AXI busses that want to utilize the NoC to Xilinx parameterizable macros or XPMs. . The second step of the process is to add constraint files (or XDCs) to the design that define connectivity and quality of service parameters for each individual NoC c ...
RTL for Programable NoC (Modular NoC) Part 4 – validate_noc Command
AMD· 2025-07-17 16:00
Welcome to part four of the modular NoC series. In this video, you're going to learn about the validate_noc command. At this stage, we know how to connect all AXI busses by utilizing XPMs and how to define multiple constraints like connectivity addressing QoS and bandwidth by using constraint files (or XDCs).The final step in this three step process is to run the validate_noc command. This video focuses on this command. The validate_noc command validates the NoC topology for the entire system. The validate_ ...
RTL for Programable NoC (Modular NoC) Part 3 – Creating Connections & Adding Properties
AMD· 2025-07-17 16:00
Modular NoC Solution Overview - The modular NoC solution involves connecting AXI busses to Xilinx parameterizable macros (XPMs), adding constraint files (XDCs) to define connectivity and quality of service (QoS) parameters, and running the validate NoC command [2] - The focus is on adding constraint files (XDCs) to define connectivity and QoS parameters for each NoC connection [3] XDC Constraint File Configuration - XDC files can be specified per module and do not require RTL elaboration when modified [4] - The XDC file defines the addressing aperture of the NSU, ensuring addresses are routed appropriately; if the NSU is in the block design, the aperture is defined in the BD and doesn't need specification in the XDC [6] - The XDC file creates NoC connections between NMUs and NSUs and applies QoS constraints to those connections [7] - Setting the USED_IN property of the XDC file to "synthesis_pre" is necessary for the validation command to find the NoC constraints [10] Creating NoC Connections - The "get_noc_interfaces" command is used to get a list of available NoC interfaces in the design [11] - The "create_noc_connection" command is used to create connections between NMUs and NSUs [12][15] - The "set_property" command is used to specify QoS properties like READ_BANDWIDTH, READ_AVERAGE_BURST, WRITE_BANDWIDTH, and WRITE_AVERAGE_BURST, as well as TDEST_IDs for the connections [15][16]

Lenovo - Mark Wallis (AMD at MWC 2025)
AMD· 2025-07-16 18:48
My name is Mark Wallis. I work for the ISG group at Lenovo, and I'm here to talk about how AMD and Lenovo work together to bring telco solutions. I have in front of me here, this is the latest 5th gen AMD server.It's called the SR645. It's a dual socket, Zen5C system. This has only just been released.We've released some 17 SKUs very recently on AMD. And we actually hold the world spec power record on AMD using one of these CPUs, the 9845 CPU, on this exact server. This is the dual socket server, and we're h ...
