4.4.3. Message Bus Signals
This interface is used for PHY (P)-MAC (M) communication, using the P2M and M2P unidirectional 8-bit signals per lane. This interface serves to reduce the number of dedicated signals for implementations like link equalization, lane margining etc.
Signal Name | Direction | Descriptions/Notes | Clock Domain |
---|---|---|---|
lnX_pipe_direct_m2p_messagebus_i[7:0] | Input | Low Pin Count Message Interface from MAC to PHY. | pipe_direct_pld_tx_clk_out_o |
lnX_pipe_direct_p2m_messagebus_o[7:0] | Output | Low Pin Count Message Interface from PHY to MAC. | pipe_direct_pld_tx_clk_out_o |
The R-Tile in PIPE Direct mode does not support querying the FS/LS/Preset/Coefficient values via the PIPE interface. In addition, EQ feedback direction is not supported. Only the Figure of Merit (FOM) must be implemented using the values recommended in Preset Mappings.
