Can we use Quartus Prime transceiver toolkit from system console to measure eye/BER of 56G PAM4 signals in Stratix 10?

Hi,

As I understand it, you are inquiring if XCVR toolkit can be used to measure BER and plot eye for the 56G PAM4 in S10 E-Tile XCVR. Yes, you can use the toolkit for these. For BER link test with S10 PAM4, you may refer to the following how to video as well:

Please let me know if there is any concern. thank you.

Thanks @cheepinc_Intel​ .Yes, I wanted to confirm whether we can plot eye diagram of 56G PAM4 in Etile Xcr. The link test in the youtube url also use PRBS instead of QPRBS and all the other tutorials mention NRZ. I was confused to confirm and that's why question was raised.Can you please point me to any document which describe the on-die instrumentation /eyeQ facility for 56G PAM4 in s10 Etile ?Though the user guide generically mention transceivers,none of the docs point out whether there is any limitation for 56G PAM4

Hi Chee,

Thanks alot for the lead

The below link says we have PRBS7Q etc for PAM4. I hope this validates the eye diagram plotting for 56G PAM4
