Understanding address map in EMIF

Hi, I am trying to read/write from/to an external memory model during the simulation using EMIF. I have some questions regarding the address map in EMIF. Based on this configuration, what ...

    For the address ordering that you used:

    CS-CID-Row-Bank-Column-BG

    The CS is available only when there is multiple rank.

    The CID is for 3D stacked interface. No CID bit in this configuration.

    Row address width = 15.

    Column address width = 10.***

    Bank address width = 2.

    Bank group width = 2.

    ***(Lower 3 bits has been set to 0 because Avalon bus is 8x wider than EMIF bus in Quarter rate. Therefore it's removed when mapping to Avalon address)

    The ordering will be as below:

    Row[14..0] = amm_address[25..11]

    Bank[1..0] = amm_address[10..9]

    Column[9..3] = amm_address[8..2]

    BG[1..0] = amm_address[1..0]
