4.2.2.2. 10GE/25GE MAC+PCS with RS-FEC Simulation Dynamic Reconfiguration Design Example Components

The simulation block diagram below is generated using the following settings in the IP parameter editor:
  1. Ethernet Protocol as DR Protocol.
  2. Under the 10G/25G Ethernet Protocol tab:
    1. 25G RS-FEC as Select DR Design.
    2. Stratix 10 E-Tile TX Transceiver Signal Integrity Development Kit as the target development kit.

The successful test displays the dynamic reconfiguration transition flow between various modes. Use preset HEX file generated for each design example or modify provided C code to enable specific transition simulation. For more information on HEX file, refer to Simulating the E-Tile Dynamic Reconfiguration Design Example Testbench.

To test a specific transition, reorder the dynamic reconfiguration transition flow tests in the main.c file and regenerate a new HEX file. Each test describes a transition from the starting rate to the destination rate.

This is the default simulation test sequence based on the provided HEX file.

  1. Toggle sl_tx_rst_n and sl_rx_rst_n reset signals.
  2. Link Initialization. For more information, refer to Performing the Link Initialization.
  3. Dynamic reconfiguration (DR) test from 25G PTP with RS-FEC to 25G PTP without RS-FEC
  4. DR test from 25G PTP without RS-FEC to 10G PTP
  5. DR test from 10G PTP to 25G PTP without RS-FEC
  6. DR test from 25G PTP without RS-FEC to 25G PTP with RS-FEC
  7. DR test from 25G PTP with RS-FEC to 10G PTP
  8. DR test from 10G PTP to 25G PTP with RS-FEC
  9. DR test from 25G RS-FEC to 1G
  10. DR test from 1G to 25G without RS-FEC
  11. DR test from 25G without RS-FEC to 1G
  12. DR test from 1G to 10G
  13. DR test from 10G to 1G
  14. DR test from 1G to 25G without RS-FEC
Each of the dynamic reconfiguration tests follows these steps:
  1. Assert sl_tx_rst_n and sl_rx_rst_n reset signals.
  2. Disable SERDES. Use PMA attribute code 0x0001 in the E-tile Transceiver PHY User Guide: PMA Attribute Codes section.
  3. Trigger PMA analog reset. For more information about register descriptions, refer to the E-tile Transceiver PHY User Guide.
  4. Change transceiver TX bit/refclk ratio to the destination rate. The refclk is 156.25 MHz.
  5. Change transceiver RX bit/refclk ratio to the destination rate. The refclk is 156.25 MHz.
  6. Reconfigure the following registers for the Ethernet, RS-FEC, and transceiver blocks. For more information about the details of the changed register values, refer to the c3_reconfig.c file. For more information about the register descriptions, refer to the E-tile Hard IP for Ethernet and CPRI PHY Intel® FPGA IPs User Guide.
  7. Adjust the phase offset of a recovered clock. Use PMA attribute code 0x000E in the E-tile Transceiver PHY User Guide: PMA Attribute Codes section.
  8. Enable SERDES. Use PMA attribute code 0x0001 in the E-tile Transceiver PHY User Guide: PMA Attribute Codes section.
  9. Enable internal serial loopback. Use PMA attribute code 0x0008 in the E-tile Transceiver PHY User Guide: PMA Attribute Codes section.
  10. Deassert sl_tx_rst_n and sl_rx_rst_n reset signals.
  11. For 10G/25G DR transitions, wait for PIO_OUT[4:0] = 0x1F (o_sl_tx_ptp_ready, o_sl_rx_pcs_ready, o_tx_pll_locked, and o_sl_tx_lanes_stable, o_sl_rx_ready, o_sl_ehip_ready asserted). For 1G DR transitions, wait for PIO_OUT[2:0] = 0x7 (o_tx_pll_locked, and o_sl_tx_lanes_stable, o_sl_rx_ready, o_sl_ehip_ready asserted).
  12. Clear Ethernet statistic counters.
  13. Enable the packet generator to start sending packets of data.
  14. For 10G/25G DR transitions, wait for PIO_OUT[5:0] = 0x3F (o_sl_rx_ptp_ready, o_sl_tx_ptp_ready, o_sl_rx_pcs_ready, o_tx_pll_locked and o_sl_tx_lanes_stable, o_sl_rx_ready, o_sl_ehip_ready asserted).
The following sample output illustrates a successful simulation test run for a 25GE MAC+PCS with RS-FEC IP core variation.
