Editing TX Simulation Model Top-Level HDL for Unsynchronized ADC- Intel® Arria® 10 Multi-Link

The generate statement in the Verilog HDL file uses the LINK system parameter as an index variable to generate the requisite number of instances for the multi-link use case.
  1. Open the top-level HDL file (altera_jesd204_ed_TX.sv) in a text editor.
  2. Modify the LINK system parameter to reflect the number of links in your design.
  3. Insert the newly exported ports from the Platform Designer system at the Platform Designer system instantiation.
  4. Follow these steps to make the connections for the Platform Designer ports:
    1. For SYNC_N, scale up the dimension of sync_n_in port to match with the number of links.
      Example: 
      input wire [LINK-1:0] sync_n_in,
    2. Leave the following ports unconnected:
      • csr_tx_testpattern_a
      • csr_tx_testpattern_b
      • csr_tx_testpattern_c
      • csr_tx_testpattern_d
      • jesd204_tx_dlb_data
      • jesd204_tx_dlb_kchar_data
      • jesd204_tx_link_ready
      • jesd204_tx_somf
      • reset_seq_irq
    3. For the exported ports, increase the index of the wires from 0 to 1 and subsequent numbers for the subsequent links.
      For example, jesd204_rx_link_data[1] wire should be connected to link 1 IP core and transport layer.
  5. Follow these steps to make connections for the pll_cal_busy port:
    1. Create a wire for the pll_cal_busy port: 
      wire       pll_cal_busy;
    2. Distribute the pll_cal_busy port from xcvr_atx_pll_0 to the xcvr_reset_control_0_pll_cal_busy port of each altera_jesd204_subsystem_TX. At the Platform Designer system instantiation: 
      .xcvr_atx_pll_0_pll_cal_busy_pll_cal_busy   (pll_cal_busy),
.altera_jesd204_subsystem_TX_xcvr_reset_control_0_pll_cal_busy_pll_cal_busy   (pll_cal_busy),
.altera_jesd204_subsystem_TX1_xcvr_reset_control_0_pll_cal_busy_pll_cal_busy   (pll_cal_busy),
  6. Because of there is only one TX PLL for all the IP cores, copy the transceiver PLL locked status pin for link 1 IP core. 
    generate
	for (i=1; i<LINK; i=i+1) begin: XCVR_PLL_LOCKED
		assign xcvr_pll_locked[i] = xcvr_pll_locked[0];
	end		
endgenerate
  7. Save the top-level HDL file changes.
