Viewing GTH Transceiver Operation
After completing
in
Setting Up the Vivado Design Suite
, the IBERT
demonstration is configured and running. The status and test settings are displayed on the
Links tab in the Links window shown in
.
Review the line rate and RX bit error count. The line rate for all four GTH transceivers is
12.5 Gb/s (see
MGT Link Status
in
). Verify that the there are no bit errors.
In Case of RX Bit Errors
If there are initial bit errors after linking, or as a result of changing the TX or RX pattern, click
the respective
BERT
Reset
button to zero the count.
If the
MGT Link Status
shows
No Link
for one or more transceivers:
• Make sure the blue elastomer seal is connected to the bottom of the Bulls Eye cable
and the cable is firmly connected and flush on the board.
• Increase the TX differential swing of the transceiver (to compensate for any loss due to
PCB process variation).
• Click the respective
TX Reset
button followed by
BERT Reset
.
