46.3. Parameters

Table 454.  Configurable Parameters
Parameter Legal Values Default Value Description
Number Of Outputs 1 to 16 2 The number of output interfaces. The value of 1 is supported for some cases of parameterized systems in which no duplicated output is required.
Qualify Valid Out 0 or 1 1 Determines whether the Out_Valid signal is gated or non-gated when backpressure is applied.
Data Width 1–512 8 The width of the data on the Avalon® -ST data interfaces.
Bits Per Symbol 1–512 8 The number of bits per symbol for the input and output interfaces. For example, byte-oriented interfaces have 8-bit symbols.
Use Packets 0 or 1 0 Indicates whether or not packet transfers are supported. Packet support includes the startofpacket, endofpacket, and empty signals.
Use Channel 0 or 1 0 The option to enable or disable the channel signal.
Channel Width 0-8 1 The width of the channel signal on the data interfaces. This parameter is disabled when Use Channel is set to 0.
Max Channels 0-255 1 The maximum number of channels that a data interface can support. This parameter is disabled when Use Channel is set to 0.
Use Error 0 or 1 0 The option to enable or disable the error signal.
Error Width 0–31 1 The width of the error signal on the output interfaces. A value of 0 indicates that the error signal is not used. This parameter is disabled when Use Error is set to 0.
Use packets 0 or 1   Setting this parameter to 1 enables packet support on the Avalon® -ST data interfaces.
Use fill level 0 or 1   Setting this parameter to 1 enables the Avalon® -MM status interface.
Number of almost-full thresholds 0 to 2   The number of almost-full thresholds to enable. Setting this parameter to 1 enables Use almost-full threshold 1. Setting it to 2 enables both Use almost-full threshold 1 and Use almost-full threshold 2.
Number of almost-empty thresholds 0 to 2   The number of almost-empty thresholds to enable. Setting this parameter to 1 enables Use almost-empty threshold 1. Setting it to 2 enables both Use almost-empty threshold 1 and Use almost-empty threshold 2.
Section available threshold 0 to 2 Address Width   Specify the amount of data to be delivered to the output interface. This parameter applies only when packet support is disabled.
Packet buffer mode 0 or 1   Setting this parameter to 1 causes the core to deliver only full packets to the output interface. This parameter applies only when Use packets is set to 1.
Drop on error 0 or 1   Setting this parameter to 1 causes the core to drop packets at the Avalon® -ST data sink interface if the error signal on that interface is asserted. Otherwise, the core accepts the packet and sends it out on the Avalon® -ST data source interface with the same error. This parameter applies only when packet buffer mode is enabled.
Use almost-full threshold 1 0 or 1   This threshold indicates that the FIFO is almost full. It is enabled when the parameter Number of almost-full threshold is set to 1 or 2.
Use almost-full threshold 2 0 or 1   This threshold is an initial indication that the FIFO is getting full. It is enabled when the parameter Number of almost-full threshold is set to 2.
Use almost-empty threshold 1 0 or 1   This threshold indicates that the FIFO is almost empty. It is enabled when the parameter Number of almost-empty threshold is set to 1 or 2.
Use almost-empty threshold 2 0 or 1   This threshold is an initial indication that the FIFO is getting empty. It is enabled when the parameter Number of almost-empty threshold is set to 2.
