Implementing the Aurora Example Design V2.4 to a Virtex4

Oct 12, 2006 1 Replies

Hi,



i try to implement the Aurora Example Design to a Virtex-4FX20 device on the ML405 Evaluation Board from Xilinx. I generate the core with the "Core Generator" and with the following settings:



Aurora Lanes: 1 Lane width: 2 bytes Interface: Framing Duplex-Mode Native Flow Control: Immediate Mode User Flow Control



Line Rate: 2.5 Gbps REF-CLK: 125 MHz



Col. 0 Clock: REF_CLK_1 MGT 105B Position: Y0X0


On the ML405 Board the TX and RX Pins of the MGT 105B are connected together so i have a external loopback. The Example Design includes a frame generator and a frame checker. To run the Aurora Example Design on the Virtex device i edit the aurora_sample.ucf file to the correct io-pins for the ML405 Board. I believe thats all i have to do, but it doesn't work. The CHANNEL_UP signal doesn't assert but there is no error indicated. I don't know what went wrong.



Can someone help me?????????



Hi, Stefan!

I have similar situation, but I prefer do not download project to FPGA without comprehensive post-PAR simulation results, ;), so I stoped at no "channel_up" after 200 us post-par simulation. Behavior simulation is OK. Now try to undestand problem, but not found solution. Did you any progress in your issue?

P.S. I've used newest 2.5 version. Perhaps you have to do same.
