The Requester Completion (RC) interface are the ports through which the completions received from the link in response to your requests are presented to the user application. Table: Requester Completion Interface Port Descriptions defines the ports in the RC interface of the core. In the Width column, DW denotes the configured data bus width (64, 128, or 256 bits).

Description

m_axis_rc_tdata

Output

DW

Requester Completion Data bus.

Transmit data from the core requester completion interface to the user application. Only the lower 128 bits are used when the interface width is 128 bits, and only the lower 64 bits are used when the interface width is 64 bits.

Bits [255:128] are set permanently to 0 by the core when the interface width is configured as 128 bits, and bits [255:64] are set permanently to 0 when the interface width is configured as 64 bits.

m_axis_rc_tuser

Output

75

Requester Completion User Data.

This set of signals contains sideband information for the TLP being transferred. These signals are valid when m_axis_rc_tvalid is High.

Table: Sideband Signal Descriptions in m_axis_rc_tuser describes the individual signals in this set.

m_axis_rc_tlast

Output

1

TLAST indication for Requester Completion Data.

The core asserts this signal in the last beat of a packet to indicate the end of the packet. When a TLP is transferred in a single beat, the core sets this bit in the first beat of the transfer. This output is used only when the straddle option is disabled. When the straddle option is enabled (for the 256-bit interface), the core sets this output permanently to 0.

m_axis_rc_tkeep

Output

DW/32

TKEEP indication for Requester Completion Data.

The assertion of bit i of this bus during a transfer indicates that Dword i of the m_axis_rc_tdata bus contains valid data. The core sets this bit to 1 contiguously for all Dwords starting from the first Dword of the descriptor to the last Dword of the payload. Thus, m_axis_rc_tkeep sets to 1s in all beats of a packet, except in the final beat when the total size of the packet is not a multiple of the width of the data bus (both in Dwords). This is true for both Dword-aligned and address-aligned modes of payload transfer.

Bits [7:4] of this bus are set permanently to 0 by the core when the interface width is configured as 128 bits, and bits [7:2] are set permanently to 0 when the interface width is configured as 64 bits.

These outputs are permanently set to all 1s when the interface width is 256 bits and the straddle option is enabled. The user logic must use the signals in m_axis_rc_tuser in that case to determine the start and end of Completion TLPs transferred over the interface.

m_axis_rc_tvalid

Output

1

Requester Completion Data Valid.

The core asserts this output whenever it is driving valid data on the m_axis_rc_tdata bus. The core keeps the valid signal asserted during the transfer of a packet. The user application can pace the data transfer using the m_axis_rc_tready signal.

m_axis_rc_tready

Input

1

Requester Completion Data Ready.

Activation of this signal by the user logic indicates to the core that the user application is ready to accept data. Data is transferred across the interface when both m_axis_rc_tvalid and m_axis_rc_tready are asserted in the same cycle.

If the user application deasserts the ready signal when the valid signal is High, the core maintains the data on the bus and keeps the valid signal asserted until the user application has asserted the ready signal.

Description

31:0

byte_en

32

The user logic can optionally use these byte enable bits to determine the valid bytes in the payload of a packet being transferred. The assertion of bit i of this bus during a transfer indicates that byte i of the m_axis_rc_tdata bus contains a valid payload byte. This bit is not asserted for descriptor bytes.

Although the byte enables can be generated by user logic from information in the request descriptor (address and length), the logic has the option to use these signals directly instead of generating them from other interface signals. The 1 bit in this bus for the payload of a TLP is always contiguous.

Bits [31:16] of this bus are set permanently to 0 by the core when the interface width is configured as 128 bits, and bits [31:8] are set permanently to 0 when the interface width is configured as 64 bits. The byte enable bit is also set on completions received in response to zero length memory read requests.

32

is_sof_0

1

Start of a first Completion TLP.

For 64-bit and 128-bit interfaces, and for the 256-bit interface with no straddling, is_sof_0 is asserted by the core in the first beat of a packet to indicate the start of the TLP. On these interfaces, only a single TLP can be started in a data beat, and is_sof_1 is permanently set to 0. Use of this signal is optional when the straddle option is not enabled.

When the interface width is 256 bits and the straddle option is enabled, the core can straddle two Completion TLPs in the same beat. In this case, the Completion TLPs are not formatted as AXI4-Stream packets. The assertion of is_sof_0 indicates a Completion TLP starting in the beat. The first byte of this Completion TLP is in byte lane 0 if the previous TLP ended before this beat, or in byte lane 16 if the previous TLP continues in this beat.

33

is_sof_1

1

Start of a second Completion TLP.

This signal is used when the interface width is 256 bits and the straddle option is enabled, when the core can straddle two Completion TLPs in the same beat. The output is permanently set to 0 in all other cases.

The assertion of is_sof_1 indicates a second Completion TLP starting in the beat, with its first bye in byte lane 16. The core starts a second TLP at byte position 16 only if the previous TLP ended in one of the byte positions 0-15 in the same beat; that is, only if is_eof_0[0] is also set in the same beat.

37:34

is_eof_0[3:0]

4

End of a first Completion TLP and the offset of its last Dword.

These outputs are used only when the interface width is 256 bits and the straddle option is enabled.

The assertion of the bit is_eof_0[0] indicates the end of a first Completion TLP in the current beat. When this bit is set, the bits is_eof_0[3:1] provide the offset of the last Dword of this TLP.

41:38

is_eof_1[3:0]

4

End of a second Completion TLP and the offset of its last Dword.

These outputs are used only when the interface width is 256 bits and the straddle option is enabled. The core can then straddle two Completion TLPs in the same beat. These outputs are reserved in all other cases.

The assertion of is_eof_1[0] indicates a second TLP ending in the same beat. When bit 0 of is_eof_1 is set, bits [3:1] provide the offset of the last Dword of the TLP ending in this beat. Because the second TLP can only end at a byte position in the range 27–31, is_eof_1[3:1] can only take one of two values (6 or 7).

The offset for the last byte of the second TLP can be determined from the starting address and length of the TLP, or from the byte enable signals byte_en[31:0].

If is_eof_1[0] is High, the signals is_eof_0[0] and is_sof_1 are also High in the same beat.

42

discontinue

1

This signal is asserted by the core in the last beat of a TLP, if it has detected an uncorrectable error while reading the TLP payload from its internal FIFO memory. The user application must discard the entire TLP when such an error is signaled by the core.

This signal is never asserted when the TLP has no payload. It is asserted only in the last beat of the payload transfer; that is, when is_eof_0[0] is High.

When the straddle option is enabled, the core does not start a second TLP if it has asserted discontinue in a beat.

When the core is configured as an Endpoint, the error is also reported by the core to the Root Complex to which it is attached, using Advanced Error Reporting (AER).

74:43

parity

32

Odd parity for the 256-bit transmit data.

Bit i provides the odd parity computed for byte i of m_axis_rc_tdata. Only the lower 16 bits are used when the interface width is 128 bits, and only the lower 8 bits are used when the interface width is 64 bits. Bits [31:16] are set permanently to 0 by the core when the interface width is configured as 128 bits, and bits [31:8] are set permanently to 0 when the interface width is configured as 64 bits.
