Clocks and Resets
device_clk Input

Reference clock for JESD204B data path.

mgmt_clk Input

Reference clock for Nios II processor control path and all peripherals connected via Avalon-MM interconnect.

sma_clkout Output

Clock output to SMA connector on board (for test only).

global_rst_n mgmt_clk Input

Global reset signal from the push button. This reset is an active low signal and the deassertion of this signal is synchronous to the rising-edge of mgmt_clk.

Serial Data
rx_serial_data[LINK*L-1:0] device_clk Input

Differential high speed serial input data. The clock is recovered from the serial data stream.

tx_serial_data[LINK*L-1:0] device_clk Output

Differential high speed serial output data. The clock is embedded in the serial data stream.

JESD204B
sysref_out mgmt_clk Output

SYSREF signal for JESD204B Subclass 1 implementation.

sync_n_out link_clk Output

Indicates a SYNC_N from the receiver. This is an active low signal and is asserted 0 to indicate a synchronization request or error reporting.

Avalon- ST User Data
avst_usr_din[LINK* TL_DATA_BUS_WIDTH-1:0] frame_clk Input TX data from the Avalon-ST source interface. The TL_DATA_BUS_WIDTH is determined by the following formulas:
  • If F = 1, TL_DATA_BUS_WIDTH = F1_FRAMECLK_DIV*8*1*L*N/N_PRIME
  • If F = 2, TL_DATA_BUS_WIDTH = F2_FRAMECLK_DIV*8*2*L*N/N_PRIME
  • If F = 4, TL_DATA_BUS_WIDTH = 8*4*L*N/N_PRIME
  • If F = 8, TL_DATA_BUS_WIDTH = 8*8*L*N/N_PRIME
avst_usr_din_valid[LINK-1:0] frame_clk Input

Indicates whether the data from the Avalon-ST source interface to the transport layer is valid or invalid.

  • 0—data is invalid
  • 1—data is valid
avst_usr_din_ready[LINK-1:0] frame_clk Output

Indicates that the transport layer is ready to accept data from the Avalon-ST source interface.

  • 0—transport layer is not ready to receive data
  • 1—transport layer is ready to receive data
avst_usr_dout[LINK* TL_DATA_BUS_WIDTH-1:0] frame_clk Output RX data to the Avalon-ST sink interface. The TL_DATA_BUS_WIDTH is determined by the following formulas:
  • If F = 1, TL_DATA_BUS_WIDTH = F1_FRAMECLK_DIV*8*1*L*N/N_PRIME
  • If F = 2, TL_DATA_BUS_WIDTH = F2_FRAMECLK_DIV*8*2*L*N/N_PRIME
  • If F = 4, TL_DATA_BUS_WIDTH = 8*4*L*N/N_PRIME
  • If F = 8, TL_DATA_BUS_WIDTH = 8*8*L*N/N_PRIME
avst_usr_dout_valid[LINK-1:0] frame_clk Output

Indicates whether the data from the transport layer to the Avalon-ST sink interface is valid or invalid.

  • 0—data is invalid
  • 1—data is valid
avst_usr_dout_ready[LINK-1:0] frame_clk Input

Indicates that the Avalon-ST sink interface is ready to accept data from the transport layer.

  • 0—Avalon-ST sink interface is not ready to receive data
  • 1—Avalon-ST sink interface is ready to receive data
avst_patchk_data_error [LINK-1:0] frame_clk Output

Output signal from pattern checker indicating a pattern check error.

Description

SPI
spi_MISO spi_SCLK Input

Output data from a slave to the input of the master.

spi_MOSI spi_SCLK Output

Output data from the master to the inputs of the slaves.

spi_SCLK mgmt_clk Output

Clock driven by the master to slaves, to synchronize the data bits.

spi_SS_n[2:0] spi_SCLK Output

Active low select signal driven by the master to individual slaves, to select the target slave. Defaults to 3 bits.
