Cyclone V - major transceiver misunderstanding

Hi Maik,

You need to learn to write more concise requests for help. No one will read a really long post. Rather than post a screen shot, post code, and a script that will run the code.

I cannot tell from your description if you are using the 8/10B encoder. If you are not, then your data *MUST* have lots of toggles embedded in it to ensure the clock-and-data recovery (CDR) in the receiver stays locked to the data. Sending across a count would not meet this requirement ... it might work in simulation ... but not in the real-world.

If you were using 8/10B encoding, then most of the synchronization should already be done for you ... or you should just use the SerialLiteII core until you have that working ...

Cheers,

Dave
