Stratix V Hard IP for PCI Express
In this example design the Avalon-ST source interface of the
DUT
connects to and
Avalon-ST sink interface of the
APPS
component, and the Avalon-ST sink interface of
the
DUT
, connects to the Avalon-ST source interface of the
APPS
component. Follow
these steps to connect the Avalon-ST source and sink interfaces of these two
components:
1. To connect the Avalon-ST
rx_st
source interface of the DUT component to the
Avalon-ST
rx_st
sink interface of the APPS, in the
Name
column, right-click on
the
rx_st
interface and select and select
Apps.rx_st
from the
DUT.rx_st
Connections
list.
2. To connect the Avalon-ST
tx_st
source interface of the APPS component to the
tx_st
sink interface of the DUT component, repeat the technique explained in
Step
illustrates this procedure.
For conduit interface types, the
APPS
component interfaces connect to the
DUT
interfaces with
matching
names.

The Avalon Conduit interface type is a point-to-point interface type that
accommodates individual signals or groups of signals that do not fit into any of the
other Avalon types. You can connect conduit interfaces to each other inside a Qsys
system or export them to make connections to other modules in the design or to
FPGA pins.
