1.6.4.2. MIF ROM

You need to generate two MIF files for each reconfigurable IP core as shown in Dynamic Reconfiguration Operation, and merge them into a single MIF file for each IP core. The following section shows the MIF file format.

Core PLL

The MIF format is fixed by the PLL. You need to generate two PLLs with maximum and downscale setting to get these two MIF files. Then, merge the files into one (core_pll.mif). Only the PLL with maximum configuration is used in final compilation.

PHY (Stratix V and Arria V)

The MIF format is fixed by the PHY. You need to generate two JESD204B IP cores with maximum and downscale setting. Then, compile each of the setting to get a total of four MIF files (two for TX PLL and two for channel MIF). Then, merge the files into one (phy.mif). Only the JESD204B IP cores with maximum configuration is used in final compilation.

PHY (Arria 10)

The MIF format is fixed by the PHY. You need to generate two JESD204B IP cores with maximum and downscale setting. Then, compile each of the setting to get a total of four MIF files (two for TX PLL and two for channel MIF). Then, merge the files into two (xcvr_atx_pll_combined.mif and xcvr_cdr_combined.mif). Only the JESD204B IP cores with maximum configuration is used in final compilation.
