■ Removed support for Physical-layer only variations. The RapidIO IP core no longer
supports Physical-layer only variations.
■ Removed information about the Atlantic interface, which is no longer visible at the top
level. Removed information from “OpenCore Plus Time-Out Behavior” on page 1–13,
Chapter 4, Functional Description, Chapter 5, Signals, and Chapter 7, Testbenches. For
example, modified the description of the Atlantic interface to retain only a description of
the Physlcal layer buffers.
■ Removed information about clocking, reset, and testbench for Physical-layer only
variations. Removed information from Chapter 4, Functional Description and Chapter 7,
Testbenches. In Chapter 4, Functional Description, modified Figure 4–5 on page 4–11,
combined separate clocking sections for the Physlcal-layer only variations and other
variations and combined separate reset sections. In Chapter 7, Testbenches, removed
information about the Physical-layer only testbench.
■ Removed the PHY Maintenance Avalon-MM slave interface signals (
phy_mnt_s_clk,
phy_mnt_s_chipselect, phy_mnt_s_waitrequest, phy_mnt_s_read,
phy_mnt_s_write, phy_mnt_s_addresss, phy_mnt_s_writedata,
phy_mnt_s_readdata
). This interface is no longer a top-level interface. In variations
with a Transport layer, software accesses the Physical layer registers through the
system maintenance Avalon-MM slave interface instead.
■ Removed the “Calculating Resource Utilization for Modular Configurations” appendix.
■ Corrected the description of the
atxwlevel
,
atxovf
, and
arxwlevel
Physical-layer
buffer status output signals to indicate they are available. These signals were previously
described incorrectly as being available only in Physical-layer-only variations.
■ Added section “Correcting the Synopsys Design Constraints File to Distinguish RapidIO IP
Core Instances” on page 2–12. This section describes an additional requirement for
ensuring a design with multiple RapidIO IP core instances functions correctly.
■ Added new section “Avalon-MM Interface Widths in the RapidIO IP Core” on page 4–1.
■ Clarified that
sys_mnt_s_address
,
mnt_s_address
, and
drbell_s_address
are word
addresses and not byte addresses. They each address a four-byte (32-bit) word. Modified
Maintenance TX address window translation calculation accordingly in “Maintenance
Module”.
■ Corrected the width of
mnt_s_address
to 24 bits in Table 5–13 on page 5–11 and in the
Maintenance TX address window translation calculation description in “Maintenance
Module”.
■ Clarified that
io_s_wr_address
and
io_s_rd_address
are word addresses (and not
byte addresses) in RapidIO 1x variations, and are double-word addresses in 2x and 4x
variations, in Table 5–16 on page 5–12 and Table 5–17 on page 5–13, respectively.
Corrected header and note in Table 4–11 on page 4–48 and Table 4–12 on page 4–49 to
specify that the bit that provides the wdptr information is bit [0] rather than bit [2].
Corrected address window translation calculation and examples accordingly in
“Input/Output Avalon-MM Slave Module” on page 4–41.
■ Updated parameter descriptions in Chapter 3, Parameter Settings.
■ Updated capitalization and minor changes in parameter names.
■ Transceiver selection is no longer modifiable. The remaining supported device families
do not support an external transceiver option.
■ Removed the Transceiver Configuration option.
■ Removed Enable Transport Layer parameter. The RapidIO IP core no longer supports
Physical-layer only variations: all variations have a Transport layer.
■ Removed EDA Settings and Summary sections. These tabs no longer exist in the
RapidIO parameter editor in the new Quartus II software v14.0 IP design flow.
