F-tile 10GBASE-R firecode FEC IP (Agilex 7)

Hi! We require to support 10GBASE-R clause 74 (firecode) FEC + PCS. This option isn't available in the Agile 7 F-Tile hard FEC IP. It is available for 25G rates, but we need it specifically for 10G....

Hello Rooney,

 

You're right, Agilex 7 F-Tile Hard FEC IP does not support 10GBASE-R (Clause 74, Firecode FEC) for 10G rates. Unfortunately, Altera does not currently provide a soft IP core for 10GBASE-R Clause 74 (Firecode) FEC + PCS. For your requirements, you will need to implement your own Firecode FEC + PCS in FPGA logic, or obtain a third-party or open-source IP core.

 

Regards,

Pavee
