ChipScope Pro Analyzer Features
IBERT 7 Series FPGA GTX Transceiver Toolbar and Menu Options
IBERT Console Options
The IBERT Console Options dialog box allows you to select which columns and rows to
display in the IBERT Console. The left panel selects the MGTs by location. Use the
Check
All
and
Uncheck All
buttons to select all or none of the MGTs.
The right panel selects which rows are displayed in the MGT/BERT settings. The Default
button sets up the Console to display the basic set of rows needed to determine the health
of the channels. The Default rows are Tile Location, PLL Status, Loopback Mode, Channel
Reset, TX Polarity Invert, TX Error Inject, TX Diff Output Swing, TX Pre-Cursor, TX Post-
Cursor, TX Data Pattern, TXUSRCLK Freq, and TXUSRCLK2 Freq.
Import/Export Dialog
In the Import/Export dialog box, you can save and recall settings from a specific MGT or
apply the setting of one MGT to others in the design. To import or export settings, select
IBERT_K7GTX > Import/Export Wizard
or click the
Import/Export Wizard
button in the
toolbar.
The first screen of the wizard chooses the source of the MGT settings, either
MGT
or
File
.
If MGT is selected, choose among the available MGTs in the combo box. For File, click
Browse
and navigate to the settings file.
The second wizard screen is the destination screen. Any combination of the MGTs in the
IBERT design and a file are available. If File is enabled, click
Browse
to specify the file
destination.
The third screen is the confirmation screen, summarizing the source and destination(s) for
the settings. Click
Apply
to execute the import or export. This operation cannot be undone.
Reset All
To reset all the channels in the IBERT core, select
IBERT_K7GTX > Reset All
or click the
Reset All
button in the toolbar.
JTAG Scan Rate and Scan Now
The
JTAG Scan Rate
toolbar and
IBERT_K7GTX > JTAG Scan Rate
menu options are
used to select how frequently the ChipScope Pro Analyzer tool queries the IBERT core for
status information. The default is 1s between queries, but it can be set to 250 ms, 500 ms, 1s,
2s, 5s, or Manual Scan. When Manual Scan is selected, use
IBERT_K7GTX > Scan Now
or
the
Scan Now
(or
S!
) toolbar button to query the IBERT core.
IBERT Console Window for 7 Series FPGA GTH Transceivers
To open the console for a ChipScope Pro IBERT core for Virtex-7 FPGA GTH transceivers,
select
Window > New Unit Windows
and the core desired. A dialog box displays for that
core, and you can select the
IBERT V7 GTH Console
.
The same operation can be achieved by double-clicking the
IBERT V7 GTH Console
leaf
node in the project tree, or by right-clicking the
IBERT V7 GTH Console
leaf node and
selecting
Open IBERT V7 GTH Console
.
The IBERT Console for Virtex-7 GTH transceivers is composed of the following:
•
MGT/BERT Settings Panel
•
DRP Settings Panel
