Hi all, I am new on the world of the FPGA. I have bought the Cyclone IV GX as i wanted to use it as transceiver. I want to make a transmission through the SMA connectors, but i dont know ...

14 years agoHi,
Have you already written in VHDL or Verilog? You must visit several pages: At first http://www.altera.com/products/devkits/altera/kit-cyclone-iv-gx.html you will find some PDF like http://www.altera.com/literature/manual/rm_civgx_fpga_dev_board.pdf page 34, you can see the transceiver interface which you can use: PCIe, 10/100/1000 Ethernet --- Quote Start --- i am a little bit lost, and i cant find that much info about this kind of transmission (signals, pins, etc). --- Quote End --- For the pins, watch the schematic in the folder "kits" which you had to install. Don't forget that the standard for SMA is LVDS, you will need this information in the pin planner. --- Quote Start --- .I mean, if i create a code with PRBS data and another one for control de clocks, i can make the transmission?? --- Quote End --- Which kind of transmission do you want to make? which flow rate do you want?
