FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

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

Protocol layer: Protocol layer module performs APB to UCIe bridge connection to transfer sideband data in UCIe sideband packet formats.CXS UCIe Bridge is responsible for transmitting and receiving CXS data as mainband data.It converts incoming data into negotiated flit format and vice versa.

D2D adapter: The Die to Die Adapter (D2D) module interacts with Protocol Layer through FDI Mainband and Sideband signals and also interacts with Remote Die through RDI Mainband and Sideband signals.It facilitates data transfer from Protocol Layer to Remote Die and vice versa.During Active state, capability exchanges takes place and finalized capabilities are advertised in this module.
