DFE and CTLE reconfiguration in Arria V GZ
Hello, FPGA-engineers.
I have a problem with implementation RX equalization in 10GBASE-KR PHY IP in Arria V GZ.
My project works correctly with Auto-Negotiation (reconfiguration PMA), Link-Training (reconfiguration PCS) and FEC options.
But when I enable options "Enable RX equalization" in 10GBASE-KR PHY settings and "Enable DFE block", "Enable AEQ block" in Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller settings -- nothing happens.
I.e., the 10GBASE-KR PHY does not initiate a DFE and CTLE reconfiguration process. Signals dfe_start_rc and ctle_start_rc are always zero.
I tested in modelsim and in hardware. Why is this happening?
Screenshots of settings 10GBASE-KR PHY:
Screenshots of settings Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller:
Screenshots of settings Reset Controller:
Apart from this I found an old project example and there was a similar problem -- signals dfe_start_rc and ctle_start_rc are always zero.
Part of wave in Modelsim:
I will be grateful for any help.
HI,
I read from below KDB guideline, Enable the setting in transceiver reconfig controller only "enable the register spacing of the feature, but the feature itself is not enabled by default".
User is still expected to perform dynamic reconfig write/read on the run time to enable the feature.
Thanks.
