The Lattice Semiconductor Customer PLD Interface IP implements a register interface, which is used by firmware to send and receive messages to and from the customer’s control PLD logic to request system control actions and check status. It also implements a simple mailbox-style message passing mechanism for two-way communication between firmware and the customer PLD Logic.

Extend and Customize Your PFR Design – Add your own custom RTL to a PFR design and control it by modifying the C software included with the Sentry Solutions Stack.

Send Messages between C Code and Your Custom IP – Enables customer IP integration with a Sentry PFR Root of Trust solution.

Features

  • Bidirectional mailbox mechanism for sending and receiving small (8-bit) messages from the customer PLD logic
  • Supports either AMBA 3 APB Protocol v1.0 or AHB-lite Protocol for CPU access
  • Supports MachXO2, MachXO3, MachXO3D, Mach-NX, Crosslink-NX and Certus-NX devices
