User Guide

To acknowledge the reset request, the CPRI transmitter must send a reset
acknowledge on the CPRI link, by setting the Z.130.0 reset bit in five consecutive
outgoing hyperframes. If one of the acknowledgement conditions in

Table 4–16

holds,

the CPRI transmitter sends the reset acknowledge on the CPRI link. If the

reset_out_en

bit of the

CPRI_HW_RESET

register is set, the CPRI IP core asserts the

external

hw_reset_req

signal until the reset occurs. This signal informs the

application layer of the low-level reset request.

After it transmits the five consecutive reset acknowledge bits, the CPRI transmitter
sets the

reset_gen_done

and

reset_gen_done_hold

bits of its own

CPRI_HW_RESET

register. If the

reset_hw_en

bit is set and the

hw_reset_req

signal is asserted, you must

set the

hw_reset_assert

signal, to tell the CPRI transmitter to send a reset

acknowledge on the CPRI link.

For more information about the

CPRI_HW_RESET

register, refer to

Table 7–12 on

page 7–6

. For more information about the

hw_reset_assert

input signal, refer to

Table 6–15 on page 6–17

.

After reset, your software must perform link synchronization and other initialization
tasks. For information about the required initialization sequence following CPRI IP
core reset, refer to

Appendix A, Initialization Sequence

.

Transmitter

The transmitter in the low-level interface transmits output to the CPRI link. This
module performs the following tasks:

Assembles data and control words in proper output format

Transmits standard frame sequence

Optionally scrambles the outgoing data transmission at 4915.2 Mbps,
6144.0 Mbps, and 9830.4 Mbps CPRI line rates

Inserts the following control words in their appropriate locations in the outgoing
hyperframe:

Synchronization control byte (K28.5) and filler bytes (D16.2) in the
synchronization control word

Hyperframe number (HFN)

Basic frame number (BFN)

HDLC bit rate

Pointer to start of Ethernet data in current frame

4B/5B-encoded fast C&M Ethernet frames

Bit-stuffed slow C&M HDLC frames

Enabled control transmit table entries

Converts the data to the transceiver clock domain.

When no data is available to transmit on the CPRI link, the transmitter transmits the
standard frame sequence with zeroed control words and all-zero data.
