5.2.2.2. RX Strict SFD Checking
The GTS Ethernet Intel® FPGA Hard IP RX MAC checks all incoming packets for a correct Start byte (0xFB).
If you turn on Enable strict preamble check in the GTS Ethernet Intel® FPGA Hard IP parameter editor, the RX MAC requires all RX packets to have an Ethernet standard preamble (0x55_55_55_55_55_55). If you turn on Enable Strict SFD Check, the RX MAC requires all RX packets to have an Ethernet standard Start Frame Delimiter (0xD5).
Strict checking reduces the incidence of runt packets caused by bit errors on the line. However, do not use strict checking in applications where custom preamble values or SFD values are needed.
