VCU1287 IBERT Getting Started Guide
Running the GTY IBERT Demonstration
The GTY IBERT demonstration operates one GTY Quad at a time. This section describes how
to test GTY Quad 124. The remaining GTY Quads can be tested following a similar series of
steps.
Connecting the GTY Transceivers and Reference Clocks
Review
for the location of the GTY transceiver Quads on the VCU1287 board.
All GTY transceiver pins and reference clock pins are routed from the FPGA to a connector
pad that interfaces with Samtec Bulls Eye connectors. Review
for the pinout of
the MGT Bulls Eye connector pad.
Attach the GTY Quad Connector
Before connecting the Bulls Eye cable assembly to the board, firmly secure the blue
elastomer seal provided with the cable assembly to the bottom of the connector housing if
it is not already inserted (see
Attach the Samtec Bulls Eye connector to GTY Quad 124 (
), aligning the two
indexing pins on the bottom of the connector with the guide holes on the board. Hold the
connector flush with the board and fasten it by tightening the two captive screws.
