A. Start-Up Sequence
This appendix applies to any SPI-4.2 transmitter and receiver pair, where at least one
is an Altera
®
POS-PHY Level 4 IP core.
The startup sequence combines clock stabilization, reset, and configuration with the
training and framing aspects of the SPI-4.2 protocol as shown in
Figure A–1 on
page A–1
. Details of each event as they happen in the POS-PHY Level 4 IP core are
listed in
Table A–1
, but similar events should happen in other SPI-4.2
implementations.
