The ORI module provides an interface between ORI specific control ports and the vendor-specific interface. The ORI specific information is carried in the control words of subchannels 50, 51, and 52 of the CPRI frame.
IMPORTANT: The 614.4 Mb/s line rate is not available when ORI is selected.

In the transmit direction the ORI module takes data from ports holding the PORT ID and RTWP information and maps it into subchannels 50 to 52 of the CPRI frame using the vendor-specific interface. In the receive direction the data received in subchannels 50 to 52 is extracted and output on the PORT ID and RTWP ports. The ports of the ORI module are described in Table: ORI Module Signals - Core Interface and Table: ORI Module Signals - ORI Specific Interface . All signals are synchronous to clk .
The ORI interface transmitter routes the values on the tx_mac_address and tx_port_number ports to the vendor_tx_data port when the core is transmitting subchannel 52. This is shown in This Figure . Similarly the RTWP information on the tx_rtwp_group_n ports is routed through during the transmission of subchannels 50 and 51. The information is mapped to vendor_tx_data for transmission.
The ORI interface receiver samples vendor_rx_data during subchannels 50 to 52 and outputs the recovered values on the rx_mac_address and rx_port_number ports as shown in This Figure . Similarly the RTWP information is extracted from the incoming data and output on the rx_rtwp_group_n ports.
A nodebfn_rx_strobe from the CPRI core is required before the RTWP information is output. The RTWP information is only updated in hyperframes 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120. The strobe is required to collect the data from the correct hyperframe.
