Figure 8
shows a component block diagram of the SRIO peripheral. The load/store unit (LSU) controls the
transmission of direct I/O packets, and the memory access unit (MAU) controls the reception of direct I/O
packets. The LSU also controls the transmission of maintenance packets. Message packets are
transmitted by the TXU and received by the RXU. These four units use the internal DMA to communicate
with internal memory, and they use buffers and receive/transmit ports to communicate with external
devices. Serializer/deserializer (SERDES) macros support the ports by performing the parallel-to-serial
coding for transmission and serial-to-parallel decoding for reception.
