    Hi,

     

    For a quick and straightforward start, I recommend creating three separate single-link instances first, and then integrating them into a single project. This approach should help simplify the initial setup and reduce potential integration issues.

     

    Please let me know if you have any questions or need further assistance.

Hi,

 

Thanks for your question. I understand you're exploring how to implement multiple JESD204B links within the same FPGA.

 

As outlined in Application Note AN804, the guidance assumes that all links share the same configuration, allowing users to duplicate the IP core and blocks.

 

If your design requires different configurations for each link, you can start by duplicating the single-link example design, customize each instance according to your specific settings, and then integrate them into the same project.

 

Let me know if you have any further question. Thank you.

 

Best regards,
Chee Pin

Hi Chee Pin,

As you mentioned, by duplicating the single-link example design and customizing it according to my configuration,do you mean that I should add additional JESD204B RX IP instances within the same Qsys (Platform Designer) file, or should I create three separate single-link example projects and then integrate them into a single project? 
Which approach would be more suitable?
