Flow Control Informational Select.

These inputs select the type of flow control to bring out on the cfg_fc_* outputs of the core. The various flow control parameters and variables that can be accessed for the different settings of these inputs are:

• 000: Receive credit limit (r_limit)
• 001: Transmit credit consumed (r_consumed)¹
• 010: Receive credit consumed (r_consumed)¹
• 011: Transmit credit consumed (r_consumed)¹
• 100: Transmit credit available (t_limit - t_consumed)
• 101: Transmit credit limit (t_limit)
• 110: Transmit credit consumed (t_consumed)
• 111: Reserved

This value represents the actual unused credits in the receiver FIFO, and the recommendation is to use it only as an approximate indication of receiver FIFO fullness, relative to the initial credit limit value advertized, such as, ¼ full, ½ full, ¾ full, full.

Infinite credit for transmit credits available (cfg_fc_sel == 3'b100) is signaled as 8'h80, 12'h800 for header and data credits, respectively. For all other cfg_fc_sel selections, infinite credit is signaled as 8'h00, 12'h000, respectively, for header and data categories.
