1.2.1.1. Procedure

  • After the FPGA is powered up and configured, the onboard oscillator provides reference clock to E-tile transceiver through refclk0.
  • Once the FPGA is up and ready, HMC7044 is configured through SPI interface.
  • refclk4 has the desired frequency as per lane rate which is sourced from HMC7044. To establish the link, refclk4 has be connected to the E-tile transceiver reference clock.
  • Once HMC7044 is locked, the E-tile transceiver reference clock is switched from refclk0 to refclk4. This clock switching process is shown in the figure below. refclk1 is an intermediate clock used during this switching process.
