The transceiver test code is available in the folder System CD\Tool\Transceiver_Test. Here are the
procedures to perform transceiver channel test:
1.
Copy
Transceiver_Test
folder to your local disk.
2.
Ensure that the FPGA board is NOT powered on.
3.
Plug-in the SPF+ loopback fixtures if the SPF+ transceivers will be tested.
4.
Plug-in the SATA loopback fixtures if the SATA transceivers will be tested.
5.
Plug-in the PCIe loopback fixture if PCIe transceivers will be tested. Also, make sure PCIe
Mode SW7 is switched to x8 mode.
6.
Connect your FPGA board to your PC with an USB-Blastger cable.
7.
Power on the FPGA board
8.
Execute 'xcvr_test.bat" in the
Transceiver_Test
folder under your local disk.
9.
The batch file will download .sof and .elf files, and start the test immediately. The test result
is shown in the Nios-Terminal, as shown in
