Assertion of TX_AXI_TUSER

The assertion of TX_AXI_TUSER indicates an error in data streaming. Upon the assertion of TX_AXI_TUSER, the Ethernet 10G MAC core terminates with an error frame, i.e., XGMII_TXD = FE, XGMII_TXC = 1, and drops any remaining data frames. Refer to Figure 1.

Note: When TX_AXI_TVALID = 0, the whole column of TX_AXI signals (TDATA, TKEEP, TLAST, TUSER) is deemed as invalid, as described in TX AXI ST 64. Any assertion of TX_AXI_TUSER during TX_AXI_TVALID = 0 is not an error.
