Extracting The Project Files; Running The Gtx Ibert Demonstration; Connecting The Gtx Transceivers And Reference Clocks - Xilinx KC724 IBERT Getting Started Manual

Extracting the Project Files

The Vivado project files required to run the IBERT demonstrations are located in
kc724_ibert_vivado.zip on the SD card provided with the KC724 board. They are
also available online (as collection rdf0184_<Vivado version>.zip) at:
The zip collection also contains four ChipScope Pro software project files:
kc724_q115.cpj,kc724_q116.cpj, kc724_q117.cpj, and kc724_q118.cpj.
These files are used to load pre-saved MGT/IBERT and SuperClock-2 module control
settings for the IBERT demonstrations.

Running the GTX IBERT Demonstration

The GTX IBERT demonstration operates one GTX Quad at a time. This section describes
how to test GTX Quad 115. The remaining GTX Quads are tested following a similar series
of steps.
