4.2.1.2. Frame Synchronization
After CGS phase, the receiver assumes that the first non-/K28.5/ character marks the start of frame and multiframe. If the transmitter emits an initial lane alignment sequence, the first non-/K28.5/ character is /K28.0/. Similar to the JESD204B TX IP core, the csr_lane_sync_en is set to 1 by default, thus the RX core detects the /K/ character to /R/ character transition. If the csr_lane_sync_en is set to 0, the RX core detects the /K/ character to the first data transition. An ILAS error and unexpected /K/ character is flagged if either one of these conditions are violated.
When csr_lane_sync_en is set to 0, you have to disable data checking for the first 16 octets of data as the character replacement block takes 16 octets to recover the end-of-frame pointer for character replacement. When csr_lane_sync_en is set to 1 (default JESD204B setting), the number of octets to be discarded depends on the scrambler or descrambler block.
The receiver assumes that a new frame starts in every F octets. The octet counter is used for frame alignment and lane alignment.
