2 months agoAgilex-5 supported Transceivers
I am currently evaluating the capabilities of the Altera Dev Board DK-A5E065AB32AEA. As most SFP+ and QSFP+ Transceivers are often vendor-locked, is there a list of qualified Transceivers available?...

It will not work that way. The test with external loopback assumes that you have attached a loopback plug to either QSFP0 or QSFP1, looping back TX to RX for each lane internally within the QSFP chosen. You have looped back QSFP0 to QSFP1. You have to get a loopback plug or you can only use internal loopback with this test.

3 hours agocblixt1 is also correct on their point.
You will likely need to talk to the SFP module and configure it (I2C etc)
