V2Pro Rocket IO Primitive- Parameter and Port Settings

Hello Adarsh,

as you're new to designing with the Rocket-IOs I see why you're overwhelmed by all the attributes (I'm still 8o)...). The easiest way to get around all this is to use the Architecture Wizard (arwz.exe) that comes with the ISE-software. In this you can relatively easily specify what you want and you get a instantiation of your transceiver.

As you're using Active-HDL I assume you only need VHDL instead of some binary file which is generated by the Wizard. So after running the wizard and getting the *.xaw-file let the tools generate the instantiation template and you'll get the VHDL you can instantiate into your bigger design.

One thing you need to be aware: even though you're only using the transceiver as an input you still need to feed the TX-pins to the top-level. This means that you need to put "data" onto the internal parallel TX-data-pins at the MGT (can all be 0s).

Also be aware that you need to supply all five clocks, even the two TX-clocks as some of the logic needed on the RX-side is clocked by TXUSRCLK and TXUSRCLK2. But you can just use RXUSRCLK(2) for those.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
