4.1. AXI Stream Bridge

This bridge is responsible for converting the AXI-ST Data of the user interface to the AVST data interface of the underlying IP modules, and vice versa. The AVST interface supports both SOP aligned and MAC segmented Client Interfaces while the AXI-ST interface supports both Single and Multi Packet Modes. The bridge also supports single MAC segmented interface converted to multiple streams of AXI-ST Single packet mode and vice versa.

The AXI bridge is responsible for converting between these interfaces based on the table below.
