100GE with RS-FEC Variant in Intel Agilex Devices

You can use the following channel placements for a four-channel Native PHY with single RS-FEC block without PTP variant.

In 100GE tab, Select Ethernet IP Layers: MAC+PCS+RSFEC.

Following are the IP tab parameter settings for these channel placements:

  • Select Core Variant: Single 100GE with optional RSFEC

  • Active Channel(s) at startup: 10G/25GE Channel(s)
  • Enable IEEE 1588 PTP: Selected
  • Enable RSFEC: Selected
  • When IEEE1588/PTP channel placement restriction is set to EHIP0/2(EHIP_CORE_0/EHIP_CORE2), the First RSFEC Lane should set to first_lane3(channel_3 or channel_15).
  • When IEEE1588/PTP channel placement restriction is set to EHIP1/3(EHIP_CORE_1/EHIP_CORE3), the First RSFEC Lane should set to first_lane0(channel_8 or channel_20).
  • The FEC mode is set to fractured mode.
