I am surprised that AMD/Xilinx still did not update the document to
modern naming (slave->secondary).

Thank you for bringing this up.

We are moving away from using non-inclusive technical terminology and are removing non-inclusive language from our products and related collateral. You will for some time find examples of non-inclusive language, especially in our older products as we work to make these changes and align with industry standards. For new IP we're ensuring that we switch and stick to inclusive terminology, as you may have seen with my recent w1 driver submission.

SelectMAP is a decades-old interface and as such it is unlikely that we will update this in all documentation dating back this time. I shall however look to understand what is planned here for active documentation and new driver submissions.

Kris
