Hi Sir,

The LTSSM signal is not export to the test_out, thus we can't monitor the LTSSM using test_out bus. Basically, the test_out signal is just a PIPE status signal as describe in this document.

Thanks for your comments.

But what I get from the reference example provided for Cyclone IV GX Tranceiver Starter kit​, it polls test_out[4:0] to detect the transition to L0 state (0x0f). How we can explain this?
