M2GL-EVAL-KIT Board Testing Procedures
IGLOO2 M2GL-EVAL-KIT contains a manufacturing test program that can be run to verify the functionality of the
board. This program contains a list of options that can be run as diagnostics for the SERDES interface, low-power
DDR (LPDDR), serial programming interface (SPI) flash, and debugging the LEDs and switches. From the list of
provided menu options, either one or all of the tests can be selected to verify the functionality.
Setting Up the Board for Test
Before testing the IGLOO2 Evaluation Kit:
•
Download
IGLOO2_MTD_top.stp
,
MTD_TESTER.exe
, and
PMA_SERDES_CONFIGURATOR.exe
files from
www.microsemi.com/soc/download/rsc/?f= IGLOO2_EVAL_KIT_MTD
.
•
Download and install the drivers from:

Internal Loopback Test on SERDES Lanes
1. Connect USB cable (mini USB to Type A USB cable) to J18 and other end of the cable to the USB port
of test PC. This is required for SERDES and UART communication.
2. Switch
ON
the SW7 power supply switch.
3. Make sure that the board is programmed with
IGLOO2_MTD_top.stp
file.
4. Double-click the
PMA_SERDES_CONFIGURATOR.exe
file to open the PMA SERDES analyzer to test the
Evaluation Kit board.
