100GbE IP Core Example Design for Custom Client Interface Variations Cannot Compile

Description

The example design the Quartus II software v14.1 generates with a 100Gbps, custom client interface variation of the 40-100GbE IP core cannot compile successfully.

Resolution

To work around this issue, in the <example_design_project_directory>/common/alt_e100_packet_client.v file, replace this line

6’hd : status_readdata <= {16’h0,sync_rx_sernum[95:64]};

with this replacement line

6’hd : status_readdata <= {16’h0,sync_rx-sernum[15:0]};

This issue is fixed in version 14.1 Update 1 of the 40- and 100-Gbps Ethernet MAC and PHY IP core.
