Description

HDCP Clocks (hdcp_clks) Reset hdcp_reset Input Main asynchronous reset for HDCP.
Clock csr_clk Input

HDCP clock for control and status registers.

Typically, shares the Nios II processor clock (100 MHz).

crypto_clk Input

HDCP 2.3 clock for authentication and cryptographic layer.

You can use any clock with a frequency of up to 200 MHz.

Not applicable for HDCP 1.3.

Note: The clock frequency determines the authentication latency.
CSR Interface (tx_csr) Avalon-MM csr_clk tx_csr_addr[7:0] Input

The Avalon-MM slave port that provides access to internal control and status register, mainly for authentication messages transfer. This interface is expected to operate at Nios II processor clock domain.

Because of the extremely large bit portion of message, the IP transfers the message in burst mode with full handshaking mechanism.

Write transfers always have a wait time of 0 cycle while read transfers have a wait time of 1 cycle.

The addressing should be accessed as word addressing in the Platform Designer flow. For example, addressing of 4 in the Nios II software selects the address of 1 in the slave.

tx_csr_rd Input
tx_csr_wrdata[31:0] Input
tx_csr_rddata[31:0] Output

This signal is not available if you turn on the Support HDCP Key Management parameter.

Avalon-MM csr_clk tx_hdcp1_kmem_wr Input

The Avalon® memory-mapped slave port provides write access to internal HDCP 1.3 key storage.

Write transfers always have a wait time of 0.

For example, addressing of 4 in the Avalon® memory-mapped master selects the address of 1 in the slave.

These signals are only available if you turn on the Support HDCP Key Management parameter and the Support HDCP 1.3 parameter.

tx_hdcp1_kmem_wrdata[31:0] Input

Write transfers always have a wait time of 0.

The Avalon® memory-mapped master access the addressing as word addressing in the Platform Designer flow.

For example, addressing of 4 in the Avalon® memory-mapped master selects the address of 1 in the slave.

These signals are only available if you turn on the Support HDCP Key Management parameter and the Support HDCP 2.3 parameter.
