Triple Speed Ethernet IP Core Cyclone IV VHDL Customer Testbench Fail to Run

Environment

    Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition
    Ethernet
BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT

Critical Issue

Description

The Triple Speed Ethernet (TSE) IP core VHDL customer testbench targeting Cyclone IV devices for the following settings may fail to run:

Core variation: 10/100/1000Mb Ethernet MAC with 1000BASE-X/SGMII PCS

Use internal FIFO: No

Number of ports: 4

Transceiver type: GXB

Export transceiver powerdown signal: Yes

Resolution

Perform these steps to modify the testbench file:

1. Open the top-level testbench file, <instance_name>_tb.vhd.

2. Search for generate-block with the name "FourPort_DUT_without_FIFO".

3. Add the following lines in the generate-block:

gxb_pwrdn_in_0 <= gxb_pwrdn_in; gxb_pwrdn_in_1 <= gxb_pwrdn_in; gxb_pwrdn_in_2 <= gxb_pwrdn_in; gxb_pwrdn_in_3 <= gxb_pwrdn_in;

This issue will be fixed in a future release.
