UTIL_ADXCVR core for Xilinx devices

The util_adxcvr IP core instantiate a Gigabit Transceiver (GT) and set's up the required configuration. Basically is a simple wrapper file for a GT* Column, exposing just the necessary ports and attributes.

To understand the below wiki page is important to have a basic understanding about High Speed Serial I/O interfaces and Gigabit Serial Transceivers. To find more information about these technologies please visit the Xilinx's solution center.

Currently this IP supports three different GT type:

Features

  • Supports GTX2, GTH3 and GTH4
  • Exposes all the necessary attribute for QPLL/CPLL configuration
  • Supports shared transceiver mode
  • Support dynamic reconfiguration
  • RX Eye Scan

Block Diagram

The following diagram shows a GTXE2 Column, which contains four GT Quad. Each quad contains a GTEX2_COMMON and four GTXE2_CHANNEL primitive.

Common DRP interface
up_cm_* IO The common DRP interface, must be connected to the equivalent DRP ports of AXI_ADXCVR. This is a QUAD interface, shared by four transceiver lanes. This interface is available only if parameter QPLL_ENABLE is set to 0x1.
Channel DRP interface
up_ch_* IO The channel DRP interface, must be connected to the equivalent DRP ports of AXI_ADXCVR. This is a channel interface, one per each transceiver lane.
Eye Scan DRP interface
up_es_* IO The Eye-Scan DRP interface, must be connected to the equivalent DRP ports of UTIL_ADXCVR. This is a channel interface, one per each transceiver lane. This interface is available only if parameter TX_OR_RX_N is set to 0x0.

Design Guidelines

Please refer to Xilinx FPGAs Transceivers Wizard in order to generate the optimal parameters needed to configure the transceivers for your project.

Physical constraints considerations

the util_adxcvr allocates resources/quads (channels and common) sequentially. Meaning if you have 8 lanes, it will insert two quads, 4 channels and a common block for each quad.

Channels within a quad are tightly coupled to the common block, the placement of the channel resources can be permuted within a quad and is affected by the constraint file with the restriction that rx_<N>_p/n connect to tx_<N>_p/n must connect to the same channel.

Supposing we have the following pin constraints and connections to the util_adxcvr:

So in this case we end up with a conflict during implementation: We have to ensure that in implementation the mapping is correct either by rearranging the Rx connections. or the Tx connections of the util_adxcvr

In such cases when rearrangement is required due placement constraints, complementary reordering is required either in the converter device (lane crossbars) or inside the FPGA between the physical and link layer to connect the logical lanes with the same index on both end of the link.

Software Guidelines

The software can configure this core through the AXI_ADXCVR IP core.
