Hi, In our SOPC system we have a timing adapter between two units. The Avalon streaming bus has a 32 bits data bus and uses start of packet, end of packet and ready handshaking. The Av...

16 years agoHi,
Today I read in the manual of the TSE this: The ready latency of the MAC Receive interface is two when internal fifo's are used, but the latency is reduced to 0 when the TSE is used in SOPC by means of a timing adapter. Is the timing adapter automatically inserted, and so part of the TSE SOPC Component, or do they mean that I have to add a timing adapter. In simulation I can see the ready latency of 2 at the TSE interface. So, i changed my timing adapter from 0 -> 1 to 2 -> 1 ..... with succes. Can someone confirm that: 1) the TSE SOPC component itself has a ready latency of 2 at its RX MAC i/f 2) i need to add the timing adapter and make a match between the TSE with RL=2 and my own component with a RL of 1? Thanks in advance, Bert
