Check you're not missing something obvious, eg., the correct pin assignments, or a missing termination, or power supply voltage. Also check to see whether you need to AC couple the links. If you're testing FPGA-to-FPGA, it should be ok, but if you're interfacing to something else, then check the common-mode voltage is compatible. Cheers, Dave
