3.2. Data Interface and Signals

The HSSI unified data interface conforms to the Intel® Stratix® 10 FPGA Transceiver Native PHY IP core configured in 32-bit PCS-Direct mode. It consists of generic parallel data and encoding control interfaces for transmit and receive that are mapped to specific signaling behavior as outlined in the Intel® Stratix® 10 L- and H-Tile Transceiver PHY User Guide. The unified data interface also includes flow control ports to manage passing data to and from the HSSI PHY interface.

The table below provides a cross reference from the hssi:raw_pr unified data interface signals to the Intel® Stratix® 10 FPGA Transceiver Native PHY IP core with enhanced PCS signal set. The HSSI PHY IP is configured in Configuration-32, PMA width-32, FPGA Fabric width-32. The TX Core FIFO is configured in Phase Compensation mode. The RX Core FIFO QSFP0 is configured in Phase Compensation mode and RX Core FIFO QSFP1 is configured in Register mode. The Simplified Data Interface is disabled. The Double-Rate Transfer is disabled. For detailed information on these signals, refer to the Intel Stratix 10 L- and H-Tile Transceiver PHY User Guide.
