Looking for example testbench for Cyclone-V Transceiver Custom_PHY IP from UG-01080-1.7

Hi,

  I am looking into the Altera Transceiver PHY IP Core User Guide, UG-01080-1.7 (June 2012).   I followed section 7, “Custom PHY IP Core”  to generate a custom PHY core using the Quartus 23.1-based MegaWizard and IP Catalog for my Cyclone-V FPGA.  I have all Verilog files generated for the custom PHY IP in a new folder tst_xcvr_phy_custom.

Next, I tried to do a basic loopback simulation of this custom PHY core.  Page 7-28 in the user guide states :

............ However when I try the "Altera wiki" link I get

 

.... not sure why I get this, I do have an active Altera account.

 Perhaps this Altera-Wiki has been migrated to a Github Altera Transceivers (PHY IP)  examples repo ?   Can someone help me get an example testbench for the Cyclone-V custom PHY IP ? I have QuestaSim and ModelSim for simulating with it.

    Hi,

     

    I understand that you are experiencing difficulty accessing the simulation example previously available on the Altera Wiki:

    http://www.alterawiki.com/wiki/Custom_PHY_IP_with_PMA_Controls_Reconfiguration_Design_Example_1

     

    Please note that the Altera Wiki is no longer available. I am currently checking with our internal teams to determine whether an archived copy of the design example can be located.

     

    This investigation may take some time. I will provide you with an update by the end of next week, or sooner if I receive any relevant information.

     

    If you have not heard from me by then, please feel free to follow up with me.

     

    Thank you for your patience and understanding.

        Hi,

         

        As it has been some time since my last response, this thread will be transitioned to community support. If you have a new question, feel free to open a new thread to get the support from Altera experts.  Thank you.

    Hi,

     

    After searching internally, we were unable to locate the specific simulation example you are looking for.

     

    As a workaround, you may create the simulation by following the "Running a Simulation Testbench" section in the user guide. If you encounter any issues or have questions while going through the steps, please feel free to let us know. We will be happy to assist you throughout the process.

     

    Thank you.
