Why do I get uncorrectable FEC errors or ‘o_rx_pcs_ready’ signal low during reset testing for F-Tile Ethernet FPGA Hard IP variant for PAM4 designs with FEC enabled?

Environment

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

When using some optic modules, you may see uncorrectable FEC errors or ‘o_rx_pcs_ready’ signal low during reset testing for F-Tile Ethernet Intel FPGA Hard IP variant for PAM4 links with FEC enabled. 

Resolution

The workaround for this problem is to understand the link settling time for the module and increase the delay before checking the link. You may need to issue another reset to recover the link.
