Page 3: Introduction
C™-to-GPIO device to provide software control and status monitoring of the TLK10232 device’s I/O pins. When the board is powered up and the GUI is run, the GUI first initializes the registers of the TCA6424 for their default values and issues a Main Board Reset, resetting the TLK10232. -

This is a hybrid control and will set all of the various control register bits required for proper operation in that mode. Located to the right of this selection box is an LED indicator panel displaying the value of the various controls bits set in that particular mode. -

If the field has a new value, the status box for that array is shaded orange highlighting the changes to be applied to the TLK10232 device. To discard the changes in memory and keep the current settings, click the Discard Updates button to reset the new value fields with the current values. -
Page 9: Tlk10232 Evm Gui High-Level Device Clock And Rate Configuration
After selecting the Operating Mode settings, select the Clock and Rate Configuration window (Figure from the Selection Window tree. All of the standard clock and rate controls listed in the TLK10232 datasheet are implemented using a quick reference lookup table. The Clock and HS Serial Data Rate options are operating-mode specific, requiring configuration of the operating mode before configuring the clock so the correct options are presented. -

After changing the various control fields and all settings are saved into the GUI’s memory, apply the updated settings to the TLK10232. The TLK10232 EVM GUI configures the device based upon a text file script. This script can be modified and loaded for any various specific or optimized use case and prevents the GUI from having a single hard-coded provisioning sequence. -
Page 12: Low-Level Tlk10232 Device Configuration
A popup window opens and displays the register read/writes in real time as they are applied to the TLK10232 device. The current executed command is displayed at the bottom of the window and the value of each register read and write is displayed in the window. The script can be stopped by pressing the Abort button. -

Low-Level TLK10232 Device Configuration www.ti.com The primary device needed to read/write registers is the TLK10232. Expanding the TLK10232 in the tree shows Board1 and Board2 options. Select the appropriate board number that the TLK10232 is located and expand that to show the global and channel specific registers. All registers are handled individually for maximum configurability. -
Page 14: Ber Testing
RX channels and lanes can be selected for control by using the Transmitter Configuration and Receiver Configuration selection boxes. The results of the BER tests can be output to the PRBS_PASS LED on the TLK10232 EVM board by use of the Pin Selection box located at the top right corner of this window. -
Page 15: Latency Testing
Latency Testing window to configure the test settings and run the test. Each channel of the TLK10232 has a latency counter, but only one channel can be configured and tested at a time. Once the test settings are selected, pressing the Run Test button writes the test configuration settings to the TLK10232 and reads the latency status register to determine if the test is complete. -
Page 16: High-Speed Link Optimizer Tests
Currently additional testing and verification of the TLK10232 EVM board and GUI is needed to support the two-board solution for this feature of the GUI. Look for future revisions of this document for additional information on how to configure the hardware and software for a two-board setup. -

GUI’s register configuration memory. The GUI then executes the script responsible for provisioning the TLK10232 device, reading the error counters to clear them, waiting for the amount of test time entered for the BER test, and then rereading the error counters to obtain the BER count. Next the GUI stores the BER values into memory and processes the results. -
