1.4.4.1. Main Stream Attribute (MSA) Information

This debug feature enables you to check the MSA information.

This feature is a part of the DisplayPort TX-only design example. To display the (MSA of the DisplayPort TX core, type ‘S’ on the keyboard while in the Nios II terminal. The TX stream MSA values will appear on the Nios II terminal.

Other Nios II Commands:
  • h - help
  • s - MSA Status
  • c- Read Sink DPCD CRC
  • v - Print versions
