This is not what you want for testing a XAUI/SFP+ HSMC board. Terasic likely have an example for that. I am sure there are several layers of loopback; 1) A simple loopback where data from SFP+ is received over XAUI and then sent back over the link. 2) A more complex loopback where data is received as 10GbE packets and the contents checked. You'll want to perform both sorts of checks. Cheers, Dave
