The TX CCIX interface contains ports through which all user application CCIX data is transmitted. The following table defines the ports in the 256-bit transmit CCIX interface.
Port | Direction | Width | Description |
---|---|---|---|
s_axis_ccix_tx_tdata | Input | 256 | Receive data to the core from CCIX application. |
s_axis_ccix_tx_tuser | Input | 45 | This set of signals contain sideband information on the TLP being transferred. These signals are valid when s_axis_ccix_tx_tvalid is High. The individual signals are defined in the following table. |
s_axis_ccix_tx_tvalid | Input | 1 | The CCIX application asserts this signal whenever it presents valid data on s_axis_ccix_tx_tdata. |
ccix_tx_credit_gnt | Output | 1 |
This signal is asserted by the core to release credits. The core has a total of eight TX credits. After the VC1 link becomes active, the core first releases all the eight credits to the CCIX application, and then the core releases a credit as available. The CCIX application can transmit valid data when the application has credits available. Note: If the CCIX application drops valid between transmitting TLP
packets, the application must grantee the continuation of TLP
packets after ccix_tx_credit_gnt goes High at the core
interface.
Or The CCIX application can wait to accumulate the needed amount of credits before transmitting a TLP packet in order to avoid valid drop between packet. |
ccix_tx_credit_rtn | Input | 1 | The CCIX application asserts this signal to return the credit to the core when the CCIX link is going to deactivate state. |
ccix_tx_active_req | Input | 1 | This signal is asserted by CCIX application to move out of deactive (stop) state and into active state. This signal must remain High as long as the CCIX application requires the link to be in active state. |
ccix_tx_active_ack | Output | 1 | The core asserts this signal in response to the ccix_tx_active_req from the CCIX application when the core is ready to accept packets being sent. |
ccix_tx_deact_hint | Output | 1 | The core asserts this signal when the PCIe link want to go through a link reset, the CCIX application must use this signal to return the credits and move to link to deactive state. |
Bit Index | Name | Width | Description |
---|---|---|---|
1:0 | is_sop[1:0] | 2 |
Signals the start of a TLP in this beat. The encoding is as follows:
|
2 | is_sop0_ptr | 1 |
Indicates the position of the first byte of the first TLP starting in this beat:
|
3 | is_sop1_ptr | 1 |
Indicates the position of the first byte of the second TLP starting in this beat:
|
5:4 | is_eop[1:0] | 2 | Signals that a TLP is ending in this beat. These
inputs are set in the final beat of a TLP. The encoding are as
follows:
|
7:6 | discontinue[1:0] | 2 |
This signal can be asserted by the user application during a transfer if it has detected an error in the data being transferred and needs to abort the packet. The core nullifies the corresponding TLP on the link to avoid data corruption. The user logic can assert this signal in any beat of a TLP. It can either choose to terminate the packet prematurely in the cycle where the error was signaled, or continue until all bytes of the payload are delivered to the core. The discontinue signal can be asserted only when s_axis_ccix_tx_tvalid is High. Thus, once asserted, it should not be deasserted until the end of the packet. |
10:8 | is_eop0_ptr[2:0] | 3 | Indicates the offset of the last Dword of the first TLP ending in this beat. This input is valid when is_eop[0] is asserted. |
13:11 | is_eop1_ptr[2:0] | 3 | Indicates the offset of the last Dword of the second TLP ending in this beat. This input is valid when is_eop[1] is asserted. |
45:14 | data_parity[31:0] | 32 |
Odd parity for the 256-bit data. When parity checking is enabled in the core, the user logic must set bit i of this bus to the odd parity computed for byte i of s_axis_ccix_tx_tdata. On detection of a parity error, the core nullifies the corresponding TLP on the link and reports it as an Uncorrectable Internal Error. |
