Signals
Table 7–3 lists the input and output signals for the Avalon-ST Video Monitor
MegaCore function.
Table 7–3. Avalon-ST Video Monitor Signals (Part 1 of 2)
Signal Direction Description
clock_clk
In
All signals on the monitor are synchronous to this clock. Drive this signal
from the clock which drives the video components that are being monitored.
Do not insert clock crossing between the monitor and the trace system
component. You must drive the trace system’s clock from the same source
which drives this signal.
reset_reset
In
This signal only resets the debugging parts of the monitor. It does not affect
the system being monitored. Drive this signal directly from the
reset_reset
output of the trace system component.
