shows the mapping of 128-bit Avalon-ST TX packets to PCI Express TLPs
for a four dword header TLP with qword aligned data.
shows the mapping of 128-bit Avalon-ST TX packets to PCI Express TLPs
for a four dword header TLP with non-qword aligned addresses. In this example,
tx_st_empty
is low because the data ends in the upper 64 bits of
tx_st_data
.
