xConnect Link, 1bit port accesses with 2 packages

Post by rkn »

Hi,

I've another question. Let's say I've a target board with two packages connected via the link port as described in the xTIMEcomposer manual on page 381: Two XS1-L8A-64  devices. Tile[0] is the master tile[1] is slave.

Can I then access the 1 bit ports of the master device from the cores of the slave via the xConnect link and vice  versa?

If yes, are there any differences compared with a device with 2 tiles in the same package?

No, you cannot access the resources of one tile from the other tile. You can have a logical core performing operations on the port pins and have a channel communication to transfer data between the logical cores.
