4.2.4. Transmit Flow Control Credit Interface

This interface provides the link partner's receive buffer space information. The interface provides posted, non-posted, completion data, and header credit information. One data credit equals to four dwords (DWs) and one header credit is equal to the max size header plus optional digest field. Connect this interface to Transmit Flow Control Credit interface of GTS AXI Streaming Intel® FPGA IP for PCI Express.

Clock Domain: ss_axi_st_clk
