F-tile transceiver IP simulation
- 3 years ago
Hi Sir
I have checked the user guide, out_systempll_clk_ and out_refclk_fgt_ ports are not supported for simulation, and there is no current plan to support this.
There is a small note that mentioned this in the User Guide (page 110 and 222):
"Ports ending in "_link" must connect to the F-Tile Reference and System PLL Clocks Intel FPGA IP. These ports cannot be simulated."
PDF link to this user guide: https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/683872
The understanding is that the System PLL outputs are not visible in simulation, but they are operating "under the hood". This would explain F-Tile PHY functionality even though the System PLL *appears* to not be functional in simulation.
Not sure which QuestaSim version you are using.
Please use Questasim version 2021.4
I have installed 2021.4 and still get the same result. Attached is the vhdl code which instantiates the transceiver and system Pll IPs. Is there anything obviously wrong? I read the F-tile user guides when I built it.
