Comments
rx_aux_debug_eop
Indicates the message packet’s last byte. The last byte should be ignored
and is not part of the message.
rx_aux_debug_err
Indicates if the core detects an error in the current byte.
rx_aux_debug_cha
Indicates the direction of the current byte.
1 = byte transmitted by the source.
0 = byte received from the sink.
EDID Interface
You can use the Avalon-MM EDID interface to access an on-chip memory region containing the sink’s
EDID data. The AUX sink controller reads and writes to this memory region according to traffic on the
AUX channel.
The Avalon-MM interface uses an 8-bit address with an 8-bit data bus. The interface assumes a read
latency of 1.
Note: The IP core does not instantiate this interface if your design uses a controller to control the sink;
for instance when you turn on the Enable GPU control parameter.
Refer to the VESA Enhanced Extended Display Identification Data Implementation Guide for more
information.
Debugging Interface
Link Parameters Interface
The sink provides link level data for debugging and configuring external components using the
rx_lane_count
port.
Video Stream Out Interface
This interface provides access to the post-scrambler DisplayPort data, which is useful for low-level
debugging source equipment. The 8-bit symbols received are organized as shown in the following tables,
where n increases with time (at each main link clock cycle, by 2 for dual-symbol mode or by 4 for quad-
symbol mode).
