In Qsys systems, this Avalon-ST-compliant data bus
includes all the Avalon-ST output data and configuration
signals. The signals are in the following order from MSB to
LSB:
•

Signal Name
Description
ber_clear
Reset for the BER counter. Only for the BER block option.
bm_init_state[(L-1):1]
Specifies the state in which to initialize with the value from the
bm_
init_value[]
bus. All other state metrics are set to zero. the IP core
latches
bm_init_state
when
sink_sop
is asserted. Hybrid architec‐
ture only
bm_init_value[(L-1):1]
Specifies the value of the metric that initializes the start state. All other
metrics are set to 0.
bm_init_value
must be larger than (L × 2
(softbits –
1)
). the IP core latches
bm_init_value
when
sink_sop
is asserted.
Hybrid architecture only
sel_code[log2(Ncodes):1]
Selects the codeword. ’0’ selects the first codeword, ‘1’ selects the
second, and so on. The bus size increases according to the number of
codes specified. The IP core latches
sel_code
when
sink_sop
is
asserted.
state_node_sync[log2(Nmax):1] Specifies the node synchronization rotation to
rr
.
The IP core latches
state_node_sync
signal when
sink_sop
is
asserted. Available only when you turn on Node Sync.
tb_length[]
Traceback length. The maximum width of
tb_length
is equal to the
maximum value of parameter v. The IP core latches
tb_length
input
when
sink_sop
is asserted. This IP core disables this signal if you select
the continuous optimization: you must then remove it from the
testbench.
