ML628 IBERT Getting Started Guide

Overview

This document provides a procedure for setting up the ML628 Virtex®-6 FPGA
GTX and GTH Transceiver Characterization Board to run the Integrated Bit Error Ratio
Test (IBERT) demonstration. The designs that are required to run the IBERT demonstration
are stored in a CompactFlash (CF) memory card that is provided with the ML628 board.
The demonstration shows the capabilities of the Virtex-6 XC6VHX380T FPGA GTX and
GTH transceivers.
The ML628 board is described in detail in UG771, ML628 Virtex-6 FPGA GTX and GTH
Transceiver Characterization Board User Guide.
The IBERT demonstrations operate one GTH or GTX Quad at a time. Separate procedures
are provided for GTH and GTX transceiver evaluation. The GTH procedure consists of:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
The GTX procedure consists of:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
