User Sending MAINTENANCE Read Requests and Receiving Responses
Table 4–19
lists the Maintenance Avalon-MM interface usage example this section
describes.
Figure 4–18
shows the behavior of the signals for two read transfers on the
Maintenance Avalon-MM slave interface.
In the first active clock cycle of the example, user logic specifies that the active
transaction is a read request, by asserting the mnt_s_read signal while specifying the
source address for the read data on the mnt_s_address signal. However, the
RapidIO II IP core throttles the incoming transaction by asserting the
mnt_s_writerequest
signal until it is ready to receive the read transaction. In the
example, the IP core throttles the incoming transaction for four clock cycles. The user
logic maintains the values on the mnt_s_read and mnt_s_address signals until one
clock cycle after the IP core deasserts the mnt_s_waitrequest signal. In the following
clock cycle, user logic sends the next read request, which the IP core also throttles for
four clock cycles.
The RapidIO II IP core presents the read responses it receives on the RapidIO link as
read data responses on the Maintenance Avalon-MM slave interface. The IP core
presents the read data responses in the same order it receives the original read
requests, by asserting the mnt_s_readdatavalid signal while presenting the data on
the mnt_s_data bus.
The RapidIO II IP core converts the read requests to RapidIO transactions.
lists the fields in the corresponding RapidIO transactions.
