Limitations
The CLASS does not support split transaction between targets. A split transaction starts
inside a targets address space but ends outside of this window. The CLASS does not report
an error in this event and the results are unpredictable. You must avoid this situation.
The CLASS does not support pipelined transactions between different targets by the same
initiator. The pipeline is stalled until all transaction to one target are closed before issuing
a transaction to a different target.
The CLASS does not allow more than one open atomic access per target. When an atomic
access is open toward a particular target, all the other atomic accesses are stalled until the
first atomic access toward that target is completed.
Note:
Atomic operations are only supported in M2 memory and not in any other memory.
Arbitration Performance. Only the CLASS1 arbiter has a wasted cycle only at transition
from high priority to a lower one due to its unique configuration.
Arbitration Fairness. Requests with the higher priority levels may cause transactions with
lower priority levels not to be acknowledged, resulting in a starvation condition. This
situation can be prevented by using the auto priority upgrade supported by the expander
module and/or by the multiplexer and arbiter module priority mask mechanism.
