PIPE Interface Signals

The PIPE signals are available so that you can simulate using either the one-bit or the
PIPE interface. Simulation is much faster using the PIPE interface. You can use the 8-
bit PIPE interface for simulation even though your actual design includes the serial
interface to the internal transceivers. However, it is not possible to use the Hard IP
PIPE interface in an actual device.

Table 7–26

describes the PIPE interface signals used

for a standard 16-bit SDR or 8-bit SDR interface. In

Table 7–26

, signals that include

lane number 0 also exist for lanes 1-7. In Qsys, the signals that are part of the PIPE
interface have the prefix, hip_pipe. The signals which are included to simulate the PIPE
interface have the prefix, hip_pipe_sim_pipe.
