    Avalon bus spec is different than AXI in xilinx. However, you can still make connect in btw them. The qsys will add synchronizer towards it.

      My target point is why AXI Master have no external data port.The Axi master can control read data cycle on AXI bus , write data Cycle on Axi bus , can control through its signal HOLD,HOLDA bus acces of certain slave.For any other data path - like a FTDI 8 bits data path ,it provide no connection.

      Let say a 8 bits data path from FTDI RS232.we need a UART slave on AXI bus.

      Let say an another 32 bits data path an PCI bus.need an slave PCI.It mean that for any non AXI data path need a slave for that.

      In Avalon architecture suppose this is the same.
