3. Compiling and Testing the Design

The JESD204B parameter editor allows you to run the design example on a target development kit.

Perform the following steps to compile the design and program the development board:

  1. Launch the Intel® Quartus® Prime software and compile the design (Processing > Start Compilation).
    The timing constraints and pin assignments for the design example and the design components are automatically loaded during design example compilation.
  2. Connect the development board to the host computer either by connecting a USB cable to the on-board Intel® FPGA Download Cable II component or using an external Intel® FPGA Download Cable II module to connect to the external JTAG connector.
  3. Launch the Clock Control application that is included with the development board, and set the clock settings according to the selected data rate.
    Table 8.  Clock Setting
    Clock Name Clock Frequency
    refclk_xcvr

    Select the frequencies in the PLL/CDR Reference Clock Frequency drop down menu of the IP parameter editor.

    refclk_core
    mgmt_clk 100 MHz
    Figure 6. Clock Control GUI SettingThis example shows the clock control GUI setting for 6.144 Gbps data rate for the preset settings of LMF = 222, 6.144 Gbps and LMF = 888, 6.144 Gbps. Set the frequency according to the frequency you select for the PLL/CDR Reference Clock Frequency parameter in the IP parameter editor.
  4. If you are performing external loopback test, attach the QSF-DD loopback module at cage (U12).
  5. Configure the FPGA on the development board with the generated programming file (.sof file) using the Intel® Quartus® Prime Programmer.
