The DisplayPort 1.4 core stands out as an ideal solution for DisplayPort requirements. It is designed to be compact and easy-to-use, facilitating both source (DPTX) and sink (DPRX) functionalities. Notably, it supports link rates of 1.62, 2.7, 5.4, and 8.1 Gbps, making it compatible with a variety of link conditions. Additionally, it accommodates 1, 2, and 4 DP lanes, with native support for video via AXI stream interfaces.
The IP's versatility extends to both Single Stream Transport (SST) and Multi Stream Transport (MST) modes, meaning it can manage dual and quad pixel clocks efficiently. This comprehensive solution supports secondary data packet interfaces essential for audio and metadata transport, maintaining its high performance across different video and color spaces. Its compatibility with various FPGA devices, including AMD's UltraScale+ and Artix-7, and Intel's Cyclone 10 GX, underscores its adaptability.
Integration is simplified with a thin host driver and an intuitive API, thereby ensuring seamless implementation in diverse systems. Users who require further customization and control over the IP can access the source code on Parretto's GitHub. Detailed documentation supports developers through the features, configurations, and reference designs, ensuring that users can fully exploit the potential of this robust IP core.
