:1]
dat Input When asserted, eras_sym Indicates an erased symbol. Both
rr and eras_sym are Avalon-ST dat inputs
rr dat Input Data input, which takes in n symbols, each softbits wide per
clock. In TCM mode the rr width is (2N × softbits:1); in
Viterbi mode the rr width is (nmax × softbits:1).Both rr
and eras_sym are Avalon-ST dat inputs
sink_eop eop Input End of packet (block) signal. sink_eop delineates the packet
boundaries on the rr bus. When sink_eop is high, the end
of the packet is present on the dat bus. sink_eop is asserted
on the last transfer of every packet. This signal applies to
block decoding only.
sink_rdy ready Output Data transfer enable signal.The interface sink drives sink_
rdy and controls the flow of data across the interface. sink_
rdy behaves as a read enable from sink to source. When the
source observes sink_rdy asserted on the clk rising edge, it
can drive the Avalon-ST data interface signals and assert
sink_val as early as the next clock cycle, if data is available.
In the hybrid architecture, sink_rdy is asserted for one
clock cycle at a time. If data is not available at the time, you
have to wait for the next sink_rdy pulse.
sink_sop sop Input Start of packet (block) signal. sop delineates the packet
boundaries on the rr bus. When sink_sop is high, the start
of the packet is present on the rr bus. sink_sop is asserted
on the first transfer of every packet This signal applies to
block decoding only.
sink_val val Input Data valid signal. sink_val indicates the validity of the data
signals. sink_val is updated on every clock edge where
sink_rdy is sampled asserted, and holds its current value
along with the dat bus where sink_rdy is sampled
deasserted. When sink_val is asserted, the Avalon-ST data
interface signals are valid. When sink_val is deasserted, the
Avalon-ST data interface signals are invalid and you must
disregard them. To determine whether new data has been
received, the sink qualifies the sink_val signal with the
previous state of the sink_rdy signal.
