Extracting the Project Files
2. Install the GTX and GTH transceiver power modules:
a. Plug the GTX transceiver power module into connectors J34 and J179.
b. Plug the GTH transceiver power module into connectors J6 and J197.
3. Install the SuperClock-2 module:
a. Align the three metal standoffs on the bottom side of the module with the three
mounting holes in the CLOCK MODULE interface of the ML628 board.
b. Using three 4-40 x 0.25 inch screws, firmly screw down the module from the
bottom of the ML628 board.
c. On the SuperClock-2 module, place a jumper across pins 2–3 (2V5) of the
CONTROL VOLTAGE header, J18.
Extracting the Project Files
The ChipScope Pro Software
.cpj
project files for the IBERT demonstrations are located in
ml628_cpj.zip
on the CF card labeled IBERT #1 . They are also available online along
with
.bit
files for all 16 designs (as collection
rdf0116_13-1.zip
) at:
http://www.xilinx.com/products/boards/ml628/reference_designs.htm
ml628_cpj.zip
contains two project files:
ml628_gth.cpj
and
ml628_gtx.cpj
.
These files are used to load pre-saved MGT/IBERT and SuperClock-2 module control
settings for the GTH and GTX demonstrations.
To copy the files from the CompactFlash memory card:
1. Connect the CompactFlash memory card to the host computer.
Note:
The CompactFlash memory card can be plugged into a host PC’s PCMCIA interface
using a PCMCIA adapter card.
2. Locate the file
ml628_cpj.zip
on the Compact Flash memory card.
3. Unzip the files to a working directory on the host computer.
Running the GTH IBERT Demonstration
The GTH IBERT demonstration operates one GTH Quad at a time. This section describes
how to test GTH Quad 117. The remaining GTH Quads are tested following a similar series
of steps. The GTX IBERT demonstration is described in
Running the GTX IBERT
Demonstration, page 20 .
Connecting the GTH Transceivers and Reference Clocks
Figure 1-1 shows the locations for GTH transceiver Quads 106, 107, 108, 116, 117, and 118
on the ML628 board.
Note:
Figure 1-1 is for reference only and might not reflect the current revision of the board.
