As far as I can tell, the EnAxiCdc options has no effect on what clock source is used on the cluster. In this case, it is possible that there is no CDC and the cluster is running at a different frequency than the host. Would this be a problem?

@Xeratec Yes, the parameter is used only to select whether you want the CDC or not. However, the clock signal in the RTL is still different, which means that when building the SoC top level, you must ensure that the cluster clock runs at the same frequency as the SoC clock. If this is not ensured, the system will not work. |

Cluster Adapter CDC
This PR introduces the possibility of enabling or disabling the CDC between the SoC and the cluster domains.
Additionally, when the CDC is enabled, it adjusts the parameter for the input FIFO depth to avoid bandwidth limitations between the two domains.
