potentially errored packet, and the application can rely on the fact that if
irx_err
is not asserted and
irx_eopbits
has a value other than 4'b0001, the packet is not errored.
For CRC24 errors, you should use the
crc24_err
status signal, rather than relying on the
irx_err
signal,
in the following situations:
• If you monitor the link when only Idle control words are being received (no data is flowing), you
should monitor the real time status signal
crc24_err
.
• If you maintain a count of CRC24 errors, you should monitor the number of times that the real time
status signal
crc24_err
is asserted.

Figure 4-9: 50G Interlaken IP Core Receiver Side Example With irx_err Errors
This example illustrates the expected behavior of the 50G Interlaken IP core application interface receive
signals during a packet transfer with CRC or other errors. In the example, the errored packet transfer is
followed by two idle cycles and a non-errored packet transfer.

This figure illustrates the attempted transfer of a 83-byte packet on the RX user data transfer interface to
channel 2, after the 50G Interlaken IP Core receives the packet on the Interlaken link and detects
corruption. Following the errored packet, the IP core transfers an uncorrupted packet to channel 3.
In cycle 1, the 50G Interlaken IP Core asserts
irx_sop
when data is ready on
irx_dout_words
. When the
50G Interlaken IP Core asserts
irx_sop
, it also asserts the correct value on
irx_chan
to tell the applica‐
tion the data channel destination of the data. In this example, the value 2 on
irx_chan
tells the application
that the data should be sent to channel number 2.
During the SOP cycle (labeled with data value d1) and the cycle that follows the SOP cycle (labeled with
data value d2), the 50G Interlaken IP Core holds the value of
irx_num_valid[2:0]
at 3'b100. In the
