6.9. Avalon® -ST Bytes to Packets and Packets to Bytes Converter IP

The Avalon® Streaming ( Avalon® -ST) Bytes to Packets and Packets to Bytes Converter cores allow an arbitrary stream of packets to be carried over a byte interface, by encoding packet-related control signals such as startofpacket and endofpacket into byte sequences. The Avalon® -ST Packets to Bytes Converter core encodes packet control and payload as a stream of bytes. The Avalon® -ST Bytes to Packets Converter core accepts an encoded stream of bytes, and converts it into a stream of packets.
