2.4. Example Design Behavior
Immediately following configuration on the Arria 10 device, when you type run_example_design in system console, the 100G Interlaken IP core hardware example design performs the following actions:
- Resets the 100G Interlaken IP core.
- Configures the 100G Interlaken IP core in internal loopback mode.
- Sends a sequence of 100 256-byte Interlaken packets with predefined data in the payload to the TX user data transfer interface of the IP core.
Note: If the IP core is in dual segment mode, the hardware example design sends 65-byte bursts on the TX user data transfer interface. If the IP core is in single segment, Interleaved mode, the hardware example design sends 128-byte bursts.
- Checks the received packets and reports the status.
The packet checker included in the hardware example design provides the following basic packet checking capabilities:
- Checks that the transmitted packet sequence is not violated
- Checks that the received data matches expected values
