3.4. Hardware Design Example

Follow these steps to test Ethernet-based design examples with enabled PTP in hardware:
  1. Generate design example as described in Generating the Design.
  2. Set up the design example hardware test using Agilex 7 I-Series Transceiver-SoC Development Kit as described in Compiling and Configuring the Design Example in Hardware.
  3. Launch the Clock Control application, which is part of the development kit, and set new frequencies for the design example as described below. Below is the frequency setting in the Clock Control application.
    • Si5394, OUT3—156.25 MHz (i_refclk2pll)
    • Si5332, OUT1—125 MHz (i_clk_master_tod)
    Note: The PHY reference clock default value is 156.25 MHz. The reconfiguration clock default value is 100 MHz.
  4. Insert the appropriate electric look back plug into the Ethernet port.
  5. If you enabled Advanced Timestamp Accuracy Mode, generate routing delay.
    • After successful compilation, navigate to the <design_example>/hardware_test_design directory.
    • Copy <design_example>/ex_<speed>/eth_f_<version>/synth/eth_f_ptp_report_dl_path_delay.tcl to the current directory.
    • Run the script:
      quartus_sta -t eth_f_ptp_report_dl_path_delay.tcl eth_f_hw
      The main script sources the generated ptp_hw_adv_adj.tcl for routing delay adjustment.
  6. Update the script with the loopback module's delay. This is an optional step if timestamp accuracy is not a concern.
    1. Open the <design_example>/hardware_test_design/hwtest/altera/ptp/ptp_params.tcl file.
    2. Locate set PHY_DLY command based on the <xcvr_type> transceiver type and the <apl> physical lane number. For example, the following line specifies the channel placed at top-most FGT lane:
      set PHY_DLY(lpbk_module_dly,0,15)
    3. Modify the <delay_value> delay value of loopback module channel. The default value is set to 0.
    Repeat steps b and c for all active channels.
    Note: The tx_board_dly and rx__board_dly values provided in the ptp_params.tcl file are specific to the selected development kit. You must update these values, if you are running the script on a different board.
  7. Navigate to the <design_example>/hardware_test_design/hwtest directory.
  8. Open Tools > System Debugging Tools > System Console.
  9. Run the following command in the Tcl shell:
    source main_<Ethernet_rate>_ptp.tcl
set_jtag<number_of appropriate_JTAG_master>
  10. Run the following command:
    run_test
    The test sends and receives 16 packets. The entire output file is available in the <design_example>/hardware_test_design/hwtest/ptp_log.txt file.
The following sample output illustrates a successful hardware test:
