14.1. Generating a DisplayPort PHY Dual Simplex IP

For design examples with asymmetric physical channel locations or when the number of lanes between co-located RX and TX IPs differ, generate a dual simplex design
  1. Click Assignments > Dual Simplex (DS) Assignment Editor in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software.
    The DS Assignment Editor opens and shows all the supported dual simplex IP in your design in the IP List and any existing DS assignments under DS Groups.how the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition merges the two simplex IPs to create the new Dual-Simplex IP.
    Figure 62. DS Assignment Editor Before Creating DS GroupsThis figure shows a 4-lane RX and 4-lane TX set of GTS PHY IPs merging into a single 4-lane dual-simplex PHY.

    For more infomation on the dual-simplex flow, refer to the GTS Dual Simplex Interfaces User Guide.

  2. When your DS assignments are complete, click the Save Assignments to save the DS assignments to the .qsf for application during subsequent compilation stages.
    When you save the DS assignments, they are added automatically to the project .qsf
    Figure 63. DS Assignments in the Project QSF FileThe figure shows an example of the settings.
  3. After running the Dual Simplex (DS) assignments, Quartus Prime automatically includes the DS PHY IP in your top-level design.
    Figure 64. Dual Simplex PHY Instantiation FileThe figure shows an example of a dual simplex Verilog HDL instantiation. The figure shows the RX and TX signals with their unique names
    Figure 65. Duplex Simplex PHYThe figure shows the Dual Simplex PHY appears in the hierarchy similarly to a Duplex PHY. The difference between them is in the instantiation method.
