Regular ContributorHi,
May I know the intent of your test. Are you planning to test only the transceivers or any specific protocol?
If it is only transceivers, then you may use the internal serial loopback within the XCVR buffer. It loops back the Tx serial data to the Rx serial line.
You may generate the example design from the F-tile PMA/FEC Direct PHY IP https://docs.altera.com/r/docs/683872/25.3/f-tile-architecture-and-pma-and-fec-direct-phy-ip-user-guide/example-design-generation and modify according to your board pinouts. Use the register settings to enable internal serial loopback to test it out.
Alternatively, you can also use the transceiver toolkit to enable internal loopbacks. For this, you will have to enable few options in the IP GUI of the generated example design and make changes to the wrapper file as mentioned in the following section of the user guide. https://docs.altera.com/r/docs/683872/25.3/f-tile-architecture-and-pma-and-fec-direct-phy-ip-user-guide/using-debug-endpoint-interface-within-the-f-tile-pma/fec-direct-phy-ip
Hope this helps.
Regards
