Altera Reed-Solomon II MegaCore Function - Manual (Page 23)

Parameter Legal Values Default Value Description
Error bits count
format
Full or split Full Specifies full or split count:
• With full count the decoder just counts
the number of received error bit
• With split count the decoder counts the
number of received error bits with
initial value "1" (then corrects to value
"0") and outputs
num_error_bit1
. It
also counts the number of received
error bits with initial value "0" (then
corrects to the value "1") and outputs
num_error_bit0
Reed-Solomon II IP Core Interfaces and Signals
The RS II Avalon-ST interface supports backpressure, which is a flow control mechanism, where a sink
can indicate to a source to stop sending data.
The ready latency on the Avalon-ST input interface is 0; the number of symbols per beat is fixed to 1.
The clock and reset interfaces drive or receive the clock and reset signal to synchronize the Avalon-ST
interfaces and provide reset connectivity. The status interface is a conduit interface that consists of three
error status signals for a codeword. The decoder obtains the error symbol value, number of error symbols,
and number of error bits in a codeword from the status signals.
Avalon-ST Interfaces in DSP IP Cores
Avalon-ST interfaces define a standard, flexible, and modular protocol for data transfers from a source
interface to a sink interface.
The input interface is an Avalon-ST sink and the output interface is an Avalon-ST source. The Avalon-ST
interface supports packet transfers with packets interleaved across multiple channels.
Avalon-ST interface signals can describe traditional streaming interfaces supporting a single stream of
data without knowledge of channels or packet boundaries. Such interfaces typically contain data, ready,
and valid signals. Avalon-ST interfaces can also support more complex protocols for burst and packet
transfers with packets interleaved across multiple channels. The Avalon-ST interface inherently synchro‐
nizes multichannel designs, which allows you to achieve efficient, time-multiplexed implementations
without having to implement complex control logic.
Avalon-ST interfaces support backpressure, which is a flow control mechanism where a sink can signal to
a source to stop sending data. The sink typically uses backpressure to stop the flow of data when its FIFO
buffers are full or when it has congestion on its output.
