Chapter 5: Core Architecture

Legacy Traffic Interface

Legacy Traffic Transmitter Path Signals

Table 5-2defines the core client-side legacy traffic transmitter signals. These signals are used to transmit data from the legacy client logic into the core. All signals are synchronous to the MAC transmitter clock, tx_clk, which must be qualified by the corresponding clock enable, tx_clk_en (see “Clocks and Resets”).

Description

 

 

 

legacy_tx_data[7:0]

Input

Frame data to be transmitted is supplied on

 

 

this port

 

 

 

legacy_tx_data_valid

Input

A data valid control signal for data on the

 

 

legacy_tx_data[7:0] port

 

 

 

legacy_tx_underrun

Input

Asserted by the client to force the MAC to

 

 

corrupt the current frame

 

 

 

legacy_tx_ack

Output

Handshaking signal asserted when the

 

 

current data on legacy_tx_data[7:0]

 

 

has been accepted.

 

 

 

Legacy Traffic Receiver Path Signals

Table 5-3defines the core client side legacy traffic receiver signals. These signals are used by the core to transfer data to the client. All signals are synchronous to the MAC receiver clock, rx_clk, which must be qualified by the corresponding clock enable, rx_clk_en (see “Clocks and Resets”).

legacy_rx_data[7:0]

Output

Legacy frame data received is supplied

 

 

on this port.
