Streaming Interfaces chapter.
Direct Vendor Specific Access Interface
If you turn on Enable direct vendor specific access interface in the CPRI v6.0 parameter editor, the
direct vendor specific access interface is available. This interface allows direct access to the Vendor
Specific subchannels in the CPRI hyperframe. The Vendor Specific information is present only in
subchannels 16 through (P-1) of the CPRI hyperframe, where P is the Fast C&M pointer value. Check the
vs_rx_valid and vs_tx_ready signals to ensure you read and write this interface at the time that
corresponds to the correct position in the CPRI frame. If you implement the AUX interface, you can read
the value on the aux_rx_x or aux_tx_x output signal to identify the current position in the frame.
This interface is Avalon-ST compliant with a read latency value of 1.
You can alter the transmit latency with the Auxiliary latency cycle(s) parameter.

All interface signals are clocked by the cpri_clkout clock.
Direct Vendor Specific RX Interface
Signal Name Direction Description
vs_rx_valid[3:0] Output Each asserted bit indicates the corresponding byte on the
current vs_rx_data bus is a valid vendor-specific byte.
vs_rx_data[31:0] Output Vendor-specific word received from the CPRI frame. The
vs_rx_valid signal indicates which bytes are valid
vendor-specific bytes.
Direct Vendor Specific TX Interface
Signal Name Direction Description
vs_tx_ready[3:0] Output Each asserted bit indicates the IP core is ready to receive a
vendor-specific byte from the corresponding byte of vs_
tx_data on the next clock cycle.
vs_tx_valid[3:0] Input Write valid for vs_tx_data. Assert bit [n] of vs_tx_valid
to indicate that byte [n] on the vs_tx_data bus holds a
valid value in the current clock cycle.
vs_tx_data[31:0] Input Vendor-specific word to be written to the CPRI frame.
The IP core writes the individual bytes of the current value
on the vs_tx_data bus to the CPRI frame based on the
vs_tx_ready signal from the previous cycle, and the vs_
tx_valid signal in the current cycle.
