2.3.2. Simulation Testbench Flow for PCS, OTN, and FlexE Modes

The following steps show the simulation testbench flow for PCS, OTN, and FlexE modes:
  1. Assert global reset (i_rst_n) to reset the F-Tile Ethernet Intel FPGA Hard IP.
  2. Wait until resets acknowledgment. The o_rst_ack_n signal goes low.
  3. Deasserts the global reset.
  4. Wait until o_tx_lanes_stable bit is set to 1, indicating TX path is ready.
  5. Wait until o_rx_pcs_ready bit is set to 1, indicating RX path is ready.
    Note: In non-MAC mode, the packet client sends out idle data in MII/PCS66 format.
  6. Read TX packet data information from 0x00 - 0x34 registers in sequential order.
    • 0x00: Set hw_pc_ctrl[6] = 1'b1 to enable snapshot bit to read the TX packet statistics.
    • 0x020/0x24: TX start of packet counter (LSB/MSB)
    • 0x28/0x2C: TX end of packet counter (LSB/MSB)
    • 0x00: Set hw_pc_ctrl[6] = 1'b0 to disable snapshot bit.
  7. Read RX packet data information from 0x38 - 0x4C registers in sequential order.
    • 0x00: Set hw_pc_ctrl[6] = 1'b1 to enable snapshot bit to read the RX packet statistics.
    • 0x38/0x3C: RX start of packet counter (LSB/MSB)
    • 0x40/0x44: RX end of packet counter (LSB/MSB)
    • 0x48/0x4C: RX error counter (LSB/MSB)
    • 0x00: Set hw_pc_ctrl[6] = 1'b0 to disable snapshot bit.
  8. Compare the counters to ensure 16 packets were sent and received.
  9. Instruct packet client to stop data transmission. Write cfg_start_pkt_gen[0]=1'b1 to stop the packet generator. Clear counters.
  10. Perform Avalon® memory-mapped interface test. Write and read Ethernet IP registers.
    • 0x104: Scratch register
    • 0x108: Ethernet IP soft reset register
    • 0x004: Ethernet IP debug configuration control register
    • 0x008: Ethernet IP enable/clock gating configuration register
  11. Perform Avalon® memory-mapped interface 2 test. Write and read transceiver registers.
