The New Small Wheel

The E-Link is the part that has to be added to the firmware in order to allow communication and configuration through the E-Link, which is a serial link. In this step we have to integrate the E-Link, so the data must be encoded using 8b/10b encoding and serialized before send it out through the E-link. We have to use the Ethernet FIFO as the source of data, which will be used to communicate with the L1DDC (Level-1 Data Driver Card).
