Mac internal loopback F-Tile, Quartus 25.2

Hi all, I have Quartus 25.2 and I'm looking to run some tests in loopback mode without having any physical hardware connected. I have Reflexv2 FPGA Card. Can you guide me which IP from quartus shoul...

Hi,

It seems that i have resolved problem. For use case i needed (check loopback on Reflexv2 card).

Finally i have used F-Tile Mac IP for quartus 23.4 (i am not sure if quartus support Reflexv2 in newer version), and generated example design, with below parameters. Then i have changed constrains for Reflexv2 card (initially it was left unassigned). Then i generated my custom module for driving reset sequence (same way like it was done in example TB). Finally i have selected loopback in ip for MAC PCS_TX_RX parameter. In next step i have connected Card to E810 Network adapter and finally i have observed rx_lanes_stable and pcs_ready signals. After that i was able to send and receive frame in AVST TX/RX interface. 

So to conclude i have performed loopback in Reflexv2 card. I think we may close this topic.

Best Regards,

Przemyslaw
