f For more information, refer to “Device Options” on page 3–1 and the appropriate
device handbook. For more information about offset cancellation, refer to the relevant
device handbook.
Register-Related Signals
Table 5–10 lists the register-related signals.
Transport and Logical Layer Signals
Table 5–11 through Table 5–22 list the signals used by the Transport layer and the
Maintenance, Input/Output, and Doorbell Logical layer modules of the RapidIO IP
core. For a list of descriptions of the pins and signals used and generated by the
Physical layer, including the RapidIO IP core clock signals, refer to “Physical Layer
Signals” on page 5–1.
Avalon-MM Interface Signals
Table 5–11 through Table 5–18 list the standard signals for the Avalon-MM interfaces.
Signals on Avalon-MM interfaces are in the Avalon system clock domain.
1 When you instantiate the IP core in Qsys, these signals are automatically connected
and are not visible as inputs or outputs of the system.
f Refer to the Avalon Interface Specifications for details.
Table 5–10. Register-Related Signals
Signal Direction
Clock
Domain
Description
ef_ptr[15:0]
Input
txclk
Most significant bits [31:16] of the
PHEAD0
register.
master_enable
Output
txclk
This output reflects the value of the
Master
Enable
bit of the
Port
General
Control
CSR, which indicates whether this device is allowed
to issue request packets. If the
Master
Enable
bit is not set, the device
may only respond to requests. User logic connected to the Avalon-ST
pass-through interface should honor this value and not cause the
Physical layer to issue request packets when it is not allowed.
port_response_timeout
[23:0]
Output
txclk
Most significant bits [31:8] of
PRTCTRL
register. User logic connected to
the pass-through interface that results in request packets requiring a
response can use this value to check for request to response time-out.
This signal is present in variations that include the Avalon-ST
pass-through interface.
Table 5–11. System Maintenance Avalon-MM Slave Interface Signals (Part 1 of 2)
Signal Direction Description
sys_mnt_s_clk
Input
This signal is not used, therefore it can be left open. The Avalon
clock is used internally to sample this interface.
sys_mnt_s_chipselect
Input System maintenance slave chip select
sys_mnt_s_waitrequest
Output System maintenance slave wait request
sys_mnt_s_read
Input System maintenance slave read enable
