Startix10 - Transceiver Tool Kit shows half the number of bits

Hi, I have created a Stratix 10 design for testing the serial links using Transceiver Tool Kit. The Transceivers have their 8b/10b encoder and decoder disabled. The Pattern Generator and Checker a...

Hi Avinash,

Thanks for your clarification. For your information, I have not really tested on checking the number of tested bits within specific duration. Thus, I could not really comment why there is a different between your expectation vs the log by TTK.

Generally when I am using the TTK, my focus would be on the bit error rate for a specific configuration. If I understand it correctly, in the BER link test, there is a parameter to configure TTK to run a test for certain duration. Probably you can leverage this parameter to run your target duration. Please feel free to let me know if you still observe significant gap in the number of bits tested after using the duration parameter.

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

Best regards,
