Note: By default block diagram shown in the MegaWizard Plug-In Manager labels the external pins with
the interface type and places the interface name inside the box. The interface type and name are
used in the _hw.tcl file that describes the component. If you turn on Show signals, the block
diagram displays all toplevel signal names.
For more information about _hw.tcl files refer to refer to the
chapter in volume 1 of the Quartus II Handbook.
Low Latency PHY Data Interfaces
The following table describes the signals in the Avalon-ST interface. This interface drives AvalonST TX
and RX data to and from the FPGA fabric. These signals are named from the point of view of the MAC so
that the TX interface is an Avalon-ST sink interface and the RX interface is an Avalon-ST source.
