GTS Transceiver PHY User Guide: Agilex™ 3 FPGAs and SoCs
3.4. Dynamically Reconfigurable PHY
The Dynamically Reconfigurable PHY allows you to configure multiple profile settings through the graphical user interface (GUI) and generates the corresponding design. The GTS PMA/FEC Direct PHY IP provides the necessary design files, which must then be processed through the Dynamic Reconfiguration (DR) flow in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software.
As part of this flow, a merged DR netlist is created. Additionally, you must integrate this IP with the GTS Dynamic Reconfiguration Controller IP that serves as the master controller, enabling the switching between different profiles initially selected in the Reconfigure PHY.
Each parameter can be adjusted through the IP GUI to align with the intended use case, allowing flexibility in defining different operational modes. The selected profiles dictate how the multirate IPs dynamically switch between different configurations during operation. It is essential to carefully configure these settings to avoid mismatches or inefficiencies in data transmission.
For a detailed explanation of how to configure each of these parameters, refer to TX Datapath Options, RX Datapath Options, FEC Options, and Analog Parameter Options. These sections provide information on each parameter and their options.
