FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CORE: Core module interconnects all the sub-modules in the FLEXRAY Controller IP. Ports of core module are the top level ports for the Flexray Controller IP.

TFSM: TFSM Module is responsible for driving the Flexray frames through Bus.and also includes Transmition of Cluster Wakeup pattern,CAS(Collision Avoidance Symbol) and Frames(Data & NULL)

RFSM: RFSM Module is responsible for Sampling the Flexray frames through Bus.and also includes Reception of Cluster Wakeup pattern,CAS(Collision Avoidance Symbol) and Frames.

TIM: TIM Module is responsible for Bit timimg Characteristics(macrotick and microtick), and cycle generation based on segments(Static, Dynamic, Symbol window, NIT).

SUC: SUC Module is responisible for coldstart process of Flexray network.

CHI: CHI Module is responsible for controller host interface (CHI) command input from the firmware.

CHI_FRAME: CHI_FRAME module controls the handling of frame transmission based on the Input CHI command.

POC: POC(Protocol operation controller) module controls the operation of protocol.and implements The status of the controller.

TPRESCALER & RPRESCALER: These Modules are used to divide the system clock based on the given Prescaler value to derive the serial clock input for respective transmission and reception of Flexray controller.

CSR: CSR module has all the Control and status registers. The contents of the registers are decoded and assigned to its respective output ports based on its functionality. This block contains interrupt enable and status registers.
