The following table shows the miscellaneous signals.

Table 1. Miscellaneous Signals
Name I/O Width Description
hpd O 1

If XGUI option: Hot Plug Detect active-High (Default)

  • 0 - Hot Plug Detect is released
  • 1 - Hot Plug Detect is asserted

If XGUI option: Hot Plug Detect active-Low 1

  • 0 - Hot Plug Detect is asserted
  • 1 - Hot Plug Detect is released
cable_detect I 1

If XGUI option: Cable Detect active-High (Default)

  • 0 - Cable Detect is released
  • 1 - Cable Detect is asserted

If XGUI option: Cable Detect active-Low 2

  • 0 - Cable Detect is asserted
  • 1 - Cable Detect is released
irq O 1 Interrupt request for CPU. Active-High.
frl_clk I 1 Fixed FRL link clock.
video_clk I 1

Reference Native Video Clock

The HDMI 2.1 RX core uses this video_clk to clock out the Video Data together with the video_cke_out. Then an Video In to AXI4-Stream Bridge module is added to the HDMI 2.1 RX Subsystem to convert Native Video into AXI4-Stream Video.

video_cke_out O 1

Video clock enable signal

FRL Mode: video_cke_in is used to synchronize the video data rate of the HDMI TX core with the HDMI RX core in cases where a frame buffer is not used. This port is not intended to be used with systems using a frame buffer or data source other than the HDMI RX Core. HDMI RX Core video_cke_out should be connected to video_cke_in. Make sure video_cke_out from the HDMI RX core is synchronized to the HDMI TX clock domain; see the passthrough example design for an example on how this is implemented.

TMDS Mode: Not used

SB_STATUS_IN_tdata I 8

Side Band Status input signals

  • Bit 0: link_rdy
  • Bit 1: video_rdy
  • Bits [7:2]: Reserved
SB_STATUS_IN_tvalid I 1 Side Band Status input valid
fid 3 I 1

Field ID for AXI4-Stream bus. Used only for interlaced video.

  • 0 - even field
  • 1 - odd field

This bit is sampled coincident with the SOF on the AXI4-Stream bus. If the signal is not used, set the input to Low.

video_rst 4 O 1 Video reset signal in video_clk domain. Active-High.
  1. The Hot Plug Detect (HPD) signal is driven by an HDMI sink and asserted when the HDMI cable is connected to notify the HDMI source of the presence of an HDMI sink. When designing an HDMI sink system using the HDMI 2.1 RX Subsystem, in the PCB, if you choose to use a voltage level shifter, the HPD polarity remains as active-High. However, if you choose to add an inverter to the HPD signal, then the HPD polarity must be set to active-Low in the HDMI 2.1 RX Subsystem GUI. There are two common ways of using HPD: Toggle HPD to trigger HDCP authentication process (usually 100 ~ 500 ms). Or a longer HPD toggle (>1s), the HDMI sink is notifying the source its present without cable unplug and plug. The software API used to assert and release HPD is XV_HdmiRxSs1_SetHpd.
  2. The Cable Detect signal is connected to a 5V power signal from the HDMI cable connector via some level shifter to notify the HDMI 2.1 RX Subsystem that an HDMI source is connected.
  3. Applicable only for when the AXI4-Stream video interface present.
  4. Applicable only for when the Native Video or Native Video (Vectored DE) interface present.
