UG-20051 Interlaken 2nd Generation Intel Stratix 10 FPGA IP

Quick Start Guide

The Interlaken (2nd Generation) FPGA IP core provides a simulation testbench and a hardware design example that supports compilation and hardware testing. When you generate the design example, the parameter editor automatically creates the files necessary to simulate, compile, and test the design in hardware. The design example is also available for Interlaken Look-aside feature.

You can download the compiled hardware design and run it on the Intel® Stratix® 10 GX/TX Transceiver Signal Integrity Development Kit.

The testbench and design example supports numerous variants (parameter combinations) of the Interlaken IP core for H-tile, L-tile and E-tile device variations including NRZ and PAM4 mode. The Interlaken (2nd Generation) Intel® Stratix® 10 FPGA IP core generates design examples for all supported combinations of number of lanes and data rates.

Hardware Design Example Components

The hardware example design connects system and PLL reference clocks and required design components. After you program the device on the Intel Stratix 10 GX/TX Transceiver Signal Integrity Development Kit, the example design configures the IP core in internal loopback mode and generates packets on the IP core TX user data transfer interface. The IP core sends these packets on the internal loopback path through the transceiver.

After the IP core receiver receives the packets on the loopback path, it processes the Interlaken packets and transmits them on the RX user data transfer interface. The example design checks that the packets received and transmitted match.

The hardware example design includes external PLLs. You can examine the clear text files to view sample code that implements one possible method to connect external PLLs to the Interlaken (2nd Generation) FPGA IP.

Figure 4. Interlaken (2nd Generation) IP Hardware Design Example High Level Block Diagram for L-tile and H-tile 6.25, 10.3125, 12.5 Gbps Variations

Figure 5. Interlaken (2nd Generation) Hardware Design Example High Level Block Diagram for L-tile and H-tile 25.3 and 25.8 Gbps Variations

The Interlaken (2nd Generation) hardware design example includes the following components:

1. Interlaken (2nd Generation) FPGA IP
2. Packet Generator and Packet Checker
3. JTAG controller that communicates with System Console. You communicate with the client logic through the System Console.
4. ATX PLL to generate the high-speed serial clock to drive the device transceiver channel for IP core variations that target an Intel Stratix 10 L-tile and H-tile device.
   • For 25.3 and 25.8 Gbps data rate variations, one ATX PLL drives two transceiver channels.
   • The frequency value of the tx_serial_clk coming out of the ATX PLL is half of the data rate. For example, the value of tx_serial_clk for 6.25 Gbps data rate variant is 3.125 GHz.
   • The IP core connects the ATX PLL to the tx_pll_locked and tx_pll_powerdown ports. This simple connection model is only one of many options available to you for configuring and connecting the external PLLs in your Interlaken design.
     Refer to Intel Stratix 10 GX Transceiver Signal Integrity Development Kit User Guide for more information on how to use ATX PLL for more than two channels.

Note: The Interlaken (2nd Generation) hardware design example that targets an E-tile device do not require an ATX PLL.

Figure 6. Interlaken (2nd Generation) Hardware Design Example High Level Block Diagram for E-tile NRZ Mode Variations

(1) IO PLL is not present if you generate design example for Interlaken Look- aside mode. The Interlaken (2nd Generation) hardware design example that targets an E-tile PAM4 mode variation requires an additional clock mac_clkin generated by IO PLL. This PLL must use the same reference clock that drives thepll_ref_clk.

2. Run the simulation script for the supported simulator of your choice. The script compiles and runs the testbench in the simulator. Your script should check that the SOP and EOP counts match after simulation is complete. Refer to the table Steps to Run Simulation.
   Table 4. Steps to Run Simulation
   ** Simulator| Instructions**
   ---|---
   ModelSim SE or QuestaSim| In the command line, type -do vlog_pro.do If you prefer to simulate without bringing up the ModelSim GUI, type vsim -c -do vlog_pro.do
   VCS| In the command line, typesh vcstest.sh
   Xcelium| In the command line, type sh xcelium.sh

3. Analyze the results. A successful simulation sends and receives packets, and displays “Test PASSED”.
   The testbench for the design example completes the following tasks:

   • Instantiates the Interlaken (2nd Generation) Intel FPGA IP.

   • Prints PHY status.

   • Checks metaframe synchronization (SYNC_LOCK) and word (block) boundaries
     (WORD_LOCK).

   • Waits for individual lanes to be locked and aligned.

   • Starts transmitting packets.

   • Checks packet statistics:

   • CRC24 errors

   • SOPs

   • EOPs
     The following sample output illustrates a successful simulation test run in Interlaken mode:
     
     
     Note: The Interlaken design example simulation testbench sends 100 packets and receives 100 packets.

The following sample output illustrates a successful simulation test run in Interlaken Look-aside mode:

Note: The number of packets (SOPs and EOPs) varies per lane in Interlaken Lookaside design example simulation sample output.

Testing the Hardware Design Example

After you compile the Interlaken (2nd Generation) Intel FPGA IP core design example and configure your device, you can use the System Console to program the IP core and its embedded Native PHY IP core registers.

Follow these steps to bring up the System Console and test the hardware design example:

1. In the Intel Quartus Prime Pro Edition software, on the Tools menu, click System Debugging Tools ➤ System Console.

2. Change to the <design_example_installation_dir>example_design/ hwtest directory.

3. To open a connection to the JTAG master, type the following command:
   

4. You can turn on internal serial loopback mode with the following design example commands:
   a. stat: Prints general status info.
   b.sys_reset: Resets the system.
   c.loop_on: Turns on internal serial loopback.
   Note: You don’t need to run this command in Intel Stratix 10 H-tile device variations.
   d.run_example_design: Runs the design example.
   Note: In Intel Stratix 10 H-tile device variations, you just need to run run_example_design command. The run_example_design runs the following commands in a sequence: sys_reset->loop_on->stat- >gen_on->stat->gen_off.
   In Intel Stratix 10 E-tile device variations, you must run loop_on command before run_example_design command. The run_example_design runs the following commands in a sequence: sys_reset->stat->gen_on- >stat->gen_off.
   Note: When you select the Enable adaptation load soft IP option, the run_example_design command performs the initial adaptation calibration on RX side by running the run_load_PMA_configuration command.

5. You can turn off internal serial loopback mode with the following design example command:
   a. loop_off: Turns off internal serial loopback.

6. You can program the IP core with the following additional design example commands:
   a. gen_on: Enables packet generator.
   b. gen_off: Disables packet generator.
   c. run_test_loop: Runs the test for times for E-tile NRZ and PAM4 variations.
   d. clear_err: Clears all sticky error bits.
   e. set_test_mode : Sets up test to run in a specific mode.
   f. get_test_mode: Prints the current test mode.
   g. set_burst_size : Sets burst size in bytes.
   h. get_burst_size: Prints burst size information. The successful test prints HW_TEST:PASS message. Below is the passing criteria for a test run:

   • No errors for CRC32, CRC24, and checker.

   • Transmitted SOPs and EOPs should be match with received.
     The following sample output illustrates a successful test run in Interlaken mode: The successful test prints HW_TEST : PASS message. Below is the passing criteria for a test run:
     
     

   • No errors for CRC32, CRC24, and checker.

   • Transmitted SOPs and EOPs should be match with received.
     The following sample output illustrates a successful test run in Interlaken Lookaside mode:

3. The Interlaken (2nd Generation) hardware design example completes the following steps:
   a. Resets the Interlaken (2nd Generation) IP.
   b. Configures the Interlaken (2nd Generation) IP in internal loopback mode.
   c. Sends a stream of Interlaken packets with predefined data in the payload to the TX user data transfer interface of the IP core.

   • Checks that the transmitted packet sequence is correct.
   • Checks that the received data matches the expected values by ensuring both the start of packet (SOP) and end of packet (EOP) counts align while data is being transmitted and received.
