4.2.4. Simulation

The simulation test case performs the following steps:

  1. Starts up the design example with an operating speed of 1G.
  2. Configures the Triple-Speed Ethernet MAC and PCS registers.
  3. Loads the MAC TX and RX adjustment registers.
  4. Sends the following packets:
    • Non-PTP
    • No VLAN, PTP over Ethernet, PTP Sync Message, 1-step PTP
    • VLAN, PTP over UDP/IPv4, PTP Sync Message, 1-step PTP
    • Stacked VLAN, PTP over UDP/IPv6, PTP Sync Message, 2-step PTP
    • No VLAN, PTP over Ethernet, PTP Delay Request Message, 1-step PTP
    • VLAN, PTP over UDP/IPv4, PTP Delay Request Message, 2-step PTP
    • Stacked VLAN, PTP over UDP/IPv6, PTP Delay Request Message, 1-step PTP

When simulation ends, the values of the MAC statistics counters are displayed in the transcript window. The transcript window also displays PASSED if the RX Avalon® streaming interface received all packets successfully, all statistics error counters are zero, and the RX MAC statistics counters are equal to the TX MAC statistics counters.
