Checking the Basic Operation

To check on the basic operation, follow these steps:
  1. Make sure the I/O PLL core reference clock (refclk_core), transceiver clock data recovery (CDR) reference clock (refclk_xcvr), and receiver (RX) recovered clock (rxphy_clk) are 160 MHz.
    The LMK04828 clock generator from the ADC12DJ3200 EVM module provides the reference clock to I/O PLL and transceiver CDR. A frequency checker module is added to this reference design to verify the I/O PLL core reference clock, transceiver CDR reference clock, and RX recovered clock frequency are correct. You can view the measured clock frequency in the Signal Tap II file by clicking at the freq_chk instance as indicated in the following figure. The frequency values of all measured clocks are displayed in Hz after running analysis or autorun analysis.

  2. Verify the RX PHY status by monitoring the status of rx_is_lockedtodata[7..0], rx_analogreset[7:0], rx_digitalreset[7:0], and rx_cal_busy[7:0] signals for link 0 and link 1.
    These signals are available under rx_phy instance in the Signal Tap II file.
