2.2.1.1. Non-PTP 10GE/25GE MAC+PCS with Optional RS-FEC Simulation Design Example

The simulation block diagram below is generated using the following settings in the IP parameter editor:
  1. Under the IP tab:
    1. 1 to 4 10GE/25GE with optional RSFEC or 100GE or 1 to 4 channel 10GE/25GE with optional RSFEC and PTP as the core variant.
    2. 10GE/25GE Channel(s) as Active channel(s) at startup if you choose 100GE or 1 to 4 channel 10GE/25GE with optional RSFEC and PTP as the core variant.
    3. Enable RSFEC to use the RS-FEC feature.
  2. Under the 10GE/25GE tab:
    1. 10G or 25G as the Ethernet rate.
  3. Enable asynchronous adapter clocks to use the asynchronous adapter feature.
Note: RS-FEC is not supported in 10GE variant.
Figure 6. Simulation Block Diagram for Non-PTP E-Tile Hard IP for Ethernet Intel FPGA IP 10GE/25GE MAC+PCS with Optional RS-FEC Design Example

The testbench sends traffic through the IP core, exercising the transmit side and receive side of the IP core.

To speed up simulation, the IP core simulation model sends alignment marker tags at shorter intervals than required by the IEEE Ethernet standard. The standard specifies an alignment marker interval of 16,384 words in each virtual lane. The simulation model with the testbench implements an alignment marker interval of 512 words.

The successful test run displays output confirming the following behavior:

  1. Waiting for PLL to lock.
  2. Waiting for RX transceiver reset to complete.
  3. Waiting for RX alignment.
  4. Sending 10 packets.
  5. Receiving those packets.
  6. Displaying Testbench complete.

The following sample output illustrates a successful simulation test run for a 25GE, MAC+PCS with RS-FEC, non-PTP IP core variation.
