Data Alignment and Timing for the 256‑Bit Avalon‑ST TX Interface

Refer to Figure 8–16 on page 8–15 layout of headers and data for the 256-bit Avalon-ST packets with

qword aligned and qword unaligned addresses.

Single Packet Per Cycle

In single packer per cycle mode, all received TLPs start at the lower 128-bit boundary on a 256-bit

Avalon-ST interface. Turn on Enable Multiple Packets per Cycle on the System Settings tab of the

parameter editor to change multiple packets per cycle.
Single packet per cycle mode requires simpler Application Layer packet decode logic on the TX and RX

paths because packets always start in the lower 128-bits of the Avalon-ST interface. Although this mode

simplifies the Application Layer logic, failure to use the full 256-bit Avalon-ST may slightly reduce the

throughput of a design.
