Tejun,

The interface block is like this:

AHB to AXI Bridge
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------
----------------------------------------------
|         AHB Slave        |                           |         AHB
Master (DMA)        |
---------------------------------
----------------------------------------------


----------------------------------
----------------------------------------------
|         AHCI registers    |                           |
DMAC                        |
-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------


I need to convert PCI interface to AHB. Has anyone done that before?

Thanks
Sagar
