5. Streaming Sender

The streaming sender design takes 4 AFE data streams and packs 64 samples from each stream them into an output frame for transmission to FELIX DAQ. The output link runs at 4.809 Gbps. This design runs continuously and there are a few idle words inserted between output frames.

This version of the firmware has four streaming senders instantiated. Muxes on the inputs select which input channels are connected to each 4 input streaming core sender.
