3.6. Link Debugging Sequence

The Serial Lite IV IP provides a link debugging sequence for TX and RX that you can use when debugging your design.
Figure 17. TX Link Debugging Flowchart
Table 12.  TX Link Debugging Signals
Signal Location Description
tx_link_up Top-level TX signal The IP asserts this signal to indicate that the initialization sequence is complete and the IP is ready to transmit the data.
tx_pll_locked Top-level PHY signal This active-high signal indicates that the transceivers are locked to the reference clock.
phy_tx_lanes_stable Top-level PHY signal The IP asserts this signal when TX datapath is ready to send data.
phy_ehip_ready[(n*2)-1:0] Top-level PHY signal The IP asserts this signal after the tx_pcs_fec_phy_reset_n and rx_pcs_fec_phy_reset_n signals deassert to indicate that the custom PCS has completed internal initialization and is ready for transmission.
Figure 18. RX Link Debugging Flowchart
Table 13.  RX Link Debugging Signals
Signal Location Description
rx_link_up Top-level RX signal The IP asserts this signal to indicate that the initialization sequence is complete, and the IP is ready to receive data.
phy_rx_pcs_ready[(n*2)-1:0] Top-level PHY signal The IP asserts this signal when RX datapath is ready to receive data.
phy_rx_block_lock[(n*2)-1:0] Top-level PHY signal The IP asserts this signal to indicate the 66b block alignment has completed for the lanes.
