Parameter (Assignment Editor Only)

Description

For the PHY IP Core for PCI Express (PIPE), specifies the channel number of the channel acting as the master channel for a single transceiver bank or 2 adjacent banks. This setting allows you to override the default master channel assignment for the PCS and PMA. The master channel must use a TX PLL that is in the same transceiver bank. Available for Gen1, Gen2, and Gen3 variants. The following example shows how to override the default master channel for a Stratix V design. You must apply the pma_bonding_master override parameter on the Stratix V Transceiver Native PHY instance name. You can use the same procedure for other devices.

Overriding Default Master Channel

Example: set_parameter -name master_ch_number 4 -to
"<design>:inst|altera_xcvr_native_sv:testx8_inst|
sv_xcvr_native:gen_native_inst.xcvr_native_insts[0].
gen_bonded_group_native.xcvr_native_inst".
