Test Case

Objective

Description

Passing Criteria

ILA.1

Check whether the initial frame synchronization state machine enters FS_DATA state upon receiving non /K/ characters.

The following signals in <ip_variant_name> _inst_phy.v are tapped:

  • jesd204_rx_pcs_data[(L*32)-1:0]
  • jesd204_rx_pcs_data_valid[L-1:0]
  • jesd204_rx_pcs_kchar_data[(L*4)-1:0]

The following signals in <ip_variant_name> .v are tapped:

  • rx_dev_sync_n
  • jesd204_rx_int

The rxlink_clk signal is used as the SignalTap II sampling clock.

Each lane is represented by a 32-bit data bus in the jesd204_rx_pcs_data signal. The 32-bit data bus is divided into 4 octets.

  • /R/ character or K28.0 (0x1C) is observed after /K/ character at the jesd204_rx_pcs_data bus.
  • The jesd204_rx_pcs_data_valid signal must be asserted to indicate that data from the PCS is valid.
  • The rx_dev_sync_n and jesd204_rx_int signals are deasserted.
  • Each multiframe in ILAS phase ends with /A/ character or K28.3 (0x7C).
  • The jesd204_rx_pcs_kchar_data signal is asserted whenever control characters like /K/, /R/, /Q/ or /A/ characters are observed.

ILA.2

Check the JESD204B configuration parameters from the ADC in the second multiframe.

The following signals in <ip_variant_name> _inst_phy.v are tapped:

  • jesd204_rx_pcs_data[(L*32)-1:0]
  • jesd204_rx_pcs_data_valid[L-1:0] 2

The following signal in <ip_variant_name> .v is tapped:

  • jesd204_rx_int

The rxlink_clk signal is used as the SignalTap II sampling clock.

The system console access the following registers:

  • ilas_octet0
  • ilas_octet1
  • ilas_octet2
  • ilas_octet3

The content of 14 configuration octets in the second multiframe is stored in these 32-bit registers— ilas_octet0, ilas_octet1, ilas_octet2, and ilas_octet3.

  • /R/ character is followed by /Q/ character or K28.4 (0x9C) at the beginning of the second multiframe.
  • The jesd204_rx_int signal is deasserted if there is no error.
  • Octets 0–13 read from these registers match with the JESD204B parameters in each test setup.

ILA.3

Check the lane alignment

The following signals in <ip_variant_name> _inst_phy.v are tapped:

  • jesd204_rx_pcs_data[(L*32)-1:0]
  • jesd204_rx_pcs_data_valid[L-1:0] 2

The following signals in <ip_variant_name> .v are tapped:

  • rx_somf[3:0]
  • dev_lane_aligned
  • jesd204_rx_int

The rxlink_clk signal is used as the SignalTap II sampling clock.

  • The dev_lane_aligned signal is asserted upon the last /A/ character of the ILAS is received, which is followed by the first data octet.
  • The rx_somf signal marks the start of multiframe in user data phase.
  • The jesd204_rx_int is deasserted if there is no error.
2 L indicates the number of lanes.
