VCU1287 IBERT Getting Started Guide
Overview
This document describes setting up the Virtex UltraScale FPGA VCU1287 GTH and GTY
Transceiver Characterization Board to run 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 that is provided with the
VCU1287 board. The demonstration shows the capabilities of the Virtex UltraScale
XCVU095-FFVB2104 FPGA GTH and GTY transceiver.
The VCU1287 board is described in detail in the VCU1287 Board User Guide (UG1120)
.
The IBERT demonstrations in this guide operate one GTH Quad and one GTY QUAD. The
