I am not able to detect Electrical Idle signal in simulation while using Intel® Arria® 10 Transceiver PHY How to detect it ?

I am using Intel® Arria® 10 Transceiver PHY in a project which is later used for a non pci based protcocol, I am driving Tx_pma_elecidle signal at the tx pma side but not able to detect rx_elecidle...

Hi,

As I understand it, you have some inquiries related to the RX electrical idle. To ensure we are on the same page, just would like to check with you on the following:

1. When you are referring to rx_elecidle, is it that you are referring to "pipe_rx_elecidle" output signal?

2. Just wonder if you are configuring the Native PHY to PCIe mode? For your information, the pipe_rx_elecidle is used only for PCIe configuration. It is not used for non-PCIe mode.

3. Please feel free to share with me your Native PHY .qsys file so that I can have a better understanding of your configuration.

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

Best regards,

Chee Pin
