3.3. High-speed Reed-Solomon IP Core Interfaces and Signals
The clock and reset interfaces drive or receive the clock and reset signal to synchronize the Avalon-ST interfaces and provide reset connectivity. The status interface is a conduit interface that consists of three error status signals for a codeword. The decoder obtains the error symbol value, number of error symbols, and number of error bits in a codeword from the status signals.
Avalon-ST Interfaces
Avalon-ST interfaces define a standard, flexible, and modular protocol for data transfers from a source interface to a sink interface.
The input interface is an Avalon-ST sink and the output interface is an Avalon-ST source.
Avalon-ST interface signals can describe traditional streaming interfaces supporting a single stream of data without knowledge of channels or packet boundaries. Such interfaces typically contain data, ready, and valid signals.
Avalon-ST interfaces support backpressure, which is a flow control mechanism where a sink can indicate to a source to stop sending data. The sink typically uses backpressure to stop the flow of data when its FIFO buffers are full or when it has congestion on its output.
