CGS.1

Check that /K/ characters are transmitted when sync_n is asserted.

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

• jesd204_tx_pcs_data[(L*32)-1:0]
• jesd204_tx_pcs_kchar_data[(L*4)-1:0] ²

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

• sync_n
• jesd204_tx_int

The txlink_clk is used as the SignalTap II sampling clock.

Each lane is represented by 32-bit data bus in the jesd204_tx_pcs_data signal. The 32-bit data bus is divided into 4 octets.

Check the following error in Alarm and Errors tab in the DAC3XJ8XEVM GUI:

• Code Group Synch Error

• /K/ character or K28.5 (0xBC) is transmitted at each octet of the jesd204_tx_pcs_data bus when the receiver asserts the sync_n signal.
• The jesd204_tx_pcs_kchar_data signal is asserted whenever control characters like /K/ characters are transmitted.
• The jesd204_tx_int is deasserted if there is no error.
• The “Code Group Synch Error” in GUI is not asserted.

CGS.2

Check that /K/ characters are transmitted after sync_n is deasserted but before the start of multiframe.

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

• jesd204_tx_pcs_data[(L*32)-1:0]
• jesd204_tx_pcs_kchar_data[(L*4)-1:0] ²

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

• sync_n
• tx_sysref
• jesd204_tx_int

The txlink_clk is used as the SignalTap II sampling clock.

Each lane is represented by 32-bit data bus in the jesd204_tx_pcs_data signal. The 32-bit data bus is divided into 4 octets.

Check the following error in Alarm and Errors tab in the DAC3XJ8XEVM GUI:

• 8b/10b Not-in-Table Error
• 8b/10b Disparity Error

• The /K/ character transmission continues for at least 1 frame plus 9 octets.
• The sync_n and jesd204_tx_int signals are deasserted.
• The “8b/10b Not-in-Table Error” and “8b/10b Disparity Error” in GUI are not asserted.
