Reception of the Even Case
Figure D-6 illustrates the reception of the in-bound code-group stream, received either
serially using the RocketIO transceiver, or in parallel across the TBI, and translation of this
code-group stream into the receiver GMII. This is performed by the PCS Receive Engine.
The Odd Transmission Case
Figure D-7 illustrates the translation of GMII encoding into the code-group stream
performed by the PCS Transmit Engine; this stream is transmitted out of the core, either
serially using the RocketIO transceiver, or in parallel across the TBI.
In response to the deassertion of gmii_tx_en, an End of Packet code group /T/ is
immediately inserted. Note that the even and odd alignment described in “Start of Frame
Encoding” persists throughout the Ethernet frame. If the /T/ character occurs in the odd
position (the frame contained an odd number of bytes starting from the /S/ character),
then this is followed with two Carrier Extend code groups /R/. This allows the /K28.5/
character of the following Idle code group to be aligned to the even position.
