About this course
Introduction to AMBA® AXI is a practical introduction to the AXI (Advanced eXtensible Interface) protocol, a core building block of modern system-on-chip (SoC) designs. This course is designed for learners who want to strengthen their understanding of how data moves within complex computing systems. You’ll explore how AXI enables efficient, high-performance communication between processors, memory, and peripherals, and how protocol behaviour impacts system performance and correctness. Through short, focused videos and assessments, you’ll learn about AXI channels, transactions, ordering rules, atomic accesses, and key protocol features used in real-world designs. The course also includes coverage of recent AXI updates to ensure relevance to current platforms. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to read and reason about AXI transactions with confidence, making this knowledge directly applicable when working with hardware platforms, low-level software, or system architecture documentation.
What you will learn
- Explain the role of AXI in modern system-on-chip (SoC) designs
- Identify AXI channels, signals, and transaction types
- Interpret AXI transfers, ordering rules, and atomic accesses
