Introduction
TileLink (https://static.dev.sifive.com/docs/tilelink/tilelink-spec-1.7-draft.pdf) is a chip-scale interconnect standard providing multiple masters with coherent memory-mapped access to memory and other slave devices introduced by SiFive. At IIS, we are developing a modular DMA architecture based on ARM's AXI (Advanced eXtensible Interface) protocol. We would now like to extend our DMA to be compatible with the TileLink protocol.
Project
You will extend our DMA with the TileLink protocol.
