HPS-to-FPGA Address Map
The memory map of soft IP peripherals, as viewed by the microprocessor unit (MPU), starts at HPS-to-FPGA address offset 0xC000_0000. The following table lists the offset of each peripheral in the FPGA portion of the SoC.

JTAG Master Address Map
There are two JTAG master interfaces in the design, one for accessing non-secure peripherals in the FPGAfabric, and another for accessing secure peripheral in the HPS through the FPGA-to-HPS Interface.
The following table lists the address of each peripheral in the FPGA portion of the SoC, as seen through the non-secure JTAG master interface.
