It is still resulting in the same CDR lock issue.

    Hi,

     

    Sorry as I might have missed out your latest post notification. 

     

    Just would like to check with you if you have had a chance to try with the example design generated by the Direct PHY IP? You can start with the example design, customize and then perform functional simulation to ensure it is meeting your target expectation. After that you can test out in your hardware to check on the behavior. 

     

    By the way, as I observed the toolkit screenshots in your previous post, it seems like the TX PLL is not locking as well. Mind further elaborate on this observation?

     

    Please let me know if there is any concern. Thank you.
