    Hi,

    The Arria 10 SI dev kit has very limited number of external connectors and no FMC connector as well. So, I think looping back 64 channels at a time will not be possible. Please check the board User Guide section 5 for the details on the available connectors and even transceiver channels.

    For JESD204B, you may like to use the JESD204B Intel® FPGA IP and test it on the board by connecting to available XCVR channels. Reference designs are also available on following webpage: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/fpga/intellectual-property/interface-protocols/jesd204b.html


    Regards
