1.4.2.5.1. PRP Generator

The pseudo-random pattern (PRP) generator block operates in conjunction with the scrambler to generate pseudo-random patterns for the RX and TX tests in 10G Ethernet mode. It generates various test patterns from various seeds loaded to the scrambler and select data patterns. You can enable this block for custom 10GBASE-R configurations.

Note: You can enable either the PRP generator or the PRBS generator, but you cannot enable both at the same time.
