8.5.1. Test Procedure

Follow these steps to test the design examples in hardware:

  1. Click Tools > System Debugging Tools > System Console or run command: system-console &.
  2. Navigate to the hardware design directory: cd <design_example>/LL10G_10G_USXGMII_SM_1588v2/hwtesting/system_console_fm.
  3. Run the following command in the System Console: 
    1. source main.tcl
    2. set_jtag <select_appropriate_jtag_master>
    Note: The set_jtag command places the Agilex™ 5 device on the JTAG chain.
  4. Run one of the following commands in the system console to start the test:
    1. If you want to trigger the test for a specific datarate and channel:

      TEST_1588 <from_channel> <to_channel> <speed>

      Example: TEST_1588 0 0 1G
      Note: You must connect the external QSFP28 loopback module to bank 1A before running the test.
      Table 24.  Command Parameters
      Parameter Valid Values Description
      channel 0, 1 The channel number to test.
      speed 100M, 1G, 2P5G, 5G, 10G The PHY speed.
      Note:
      1. You must connect the external QSFP28 loopback module to the desired QSFP1 port before running the test.
      2. Burst size is random.
      3. Two channels are supported—channel 0 and channel 1.
  5. The following sample output illustrate a successful hardware test run:
