KCU1250 IBERT Getting Started Guide
Overview
This document describes setting up the Kintex® UltraScale™ FPGA KCU1250 GTH
Transceiver Characterization Board and running the Integrated Bit Error Ratio Test (IBERT)
demonstration using the Vivado® Design Suite. The designs required to run the IBERT
demonstration are stored in a Secure Digital (SD) memory card provided with the KCU1250
board. The demonstration shows the capabilities of the Kintex UltraScale
XCKU040-FFVA1156 FPGA GTH transceiver.
The KCU1250 board is described in detail in the
KCU1250 Board User Guide
(UG1057)
[Ref 1]
.
The IBERT demonstration operates one GTH Quad. The procedure consists of:
1.
Setting Up the KCU1250 Board
2.
Extracting the Project Files
3.
Connecting the GTH Transceivers and Reference Clocks
4.
Starting the SuperClock-2 Module
5.
Configuring the FPGA
6.
Setting Up the Vivado Design Suite
7.
Viewing GTH Transceiver Operation
8.
Closing the IBERT Demonstration
