Verification: AMBA Distributed Translation Interface (DTI) for Arm System MMU

Yeshavanth BN
In ARM MMU-based systems, DTI protocol defines a standard way to communicate with Translation Control Unit (TCU). DTI protocol is a point-to-point protocol with each channel defining a link. The communication with TCU will be from two different components, and DTI protocol defines both.

Communication between Translation Buffer Unit (TBU) and TCU (DTI-TBU Protocol)

Communication between PCIe Root Complex and TCU (DTI…
