FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CORE: Core module interconnects all the sub-modules in the APB to UCIe Bridge IP. Ports of core module are the top level ports for the APB to UCIe Bridge IP.

CSR: CSR module has all the registers. The contents of the registers are decoded and assigned to its respective output ports based on its functionality.

ATU: Address translation unit (ATU) module translates the UCIe specific address to csr address format.

PROTOCOL LAYER: The protocol layer performs APB-to-UCIe bridge to transfer sideband data using UCIe sideband packet formats.

D2D ADAPTER: The D2D Adapter module manages sideband by packing and unpacking sideband packets.
