1.6. Testing the Hardware Design Example

After you compile the F-tile Interlaken Intel® FPGA IP design example and configure your device, you can use the System Console to program the IP core and its registers.

Follow these steps to bring up the System Console and test the hardware design example:

  1. In the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software, on the Tools menu, click System Debugging Tools > System Console.
  2. Change to the <design_example_installation_dir>example_design/hwtest directory.
  3. To open a connection to the JTAG master, type the following command: 
    source sysconsole_testbench.tcl
  4. You can turn on internal serial loopback mode with the following design example commands:
    1. stat: Prints general status info.
    2. sys_reset: Resets the system.
    3. run_example_design: Runs the example design with internal serial loopback.
      • To run internal serial loopback on FHT PMA, use run_example_design_fht command.
      • To run external loopback on FHT or FGT PMA, use run_example_design_exlb command.
      Note: For FGT PMA type with PAM4 mode, the 10 or 12 lanes variants only support internal serial loopback.
  5. You can program the IP core with the following additional design example commands:
    1. gen_on: Enables the packet generator.
    2. gen_off: Disables the packet generator.
    3. sys_reset: System reset.
    4. clear_err: Clears all the CSR sticky error bits.
    5. clear_err_crc: Clears the Design Example CRC error flags.
    6. set_burst_size <burst_size>: Sets burst size in bytes. Acceptable values are 128, 256, or 512.
    7. get_burst_size: Prints burst size information.
    The successful test prints HW_TEST:PASS message. Below is the passing criteria for a test run:
    • No errors for CRC32, CRC24, and checker.
    • Transmitted SOPs and EOPs should match with the received SOPs and EOPs.
    The following sample output illustrates a successful test run in Interlaken mode:
