Hardware Block Diagram
Figure 3 shows the hardware architecture of the reference design. The design uses the Vivado
Design Suite IP integrator tool, a block-based design, and assembly tool. The IP integrator is
used to integrate many of the key blocks of the design into a subsystem. The IP integrator
subsystem consists of the MicroBlaze processor, AXI interconnect IP, MIG 7 series IP and other
AXI4-Lite peripherals. The IP integrator sub-system is integrated in the top module along with
DisplayPort IP and custom design sources for video pattern generator and video clock
generator. The MicroBlaze processor changes the DisplayPort core configuration over the
AXI4-Lite interface based on the user application.
Clocking
The DisplayPort core uses the following clock domains:
The processor and the AXI domain operate at 50 MHz.
The TED FMCH DP2 card provides a 135 MHZ reference clock for the transceivers. This clock
is then used to derive the link clock for the DisplayPort based on the link rate selected.
A transmit video clock is generated using the Video Clock generator IP which takes the link
clock as the reference clock.
