Why are there bit errors when I perform an RTL simulation of an external serial loopback on Stratix V and Arria V transceiver devices?

Environment

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

You may see bit errors when performing an RTL simulation of an external serial loopback of Stratix® V and Arria® V transceiver devices due to a Mentor Graphics Modelsim® resolution and rounding issue.

Resolution

To work around this issue, you should set the precision of the simulation to fs.
