2.5.3. Adding the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller

CPRI Intel® FPGA IP that target Arria V, Arria V GZ, Cyclone V, and Stratix V devices require an external reconfiguration controller to compile and to function correctly in hardware. CPRI IPs that target , Intel Agilex 7 or Intel Agilex 5, Arria® 10 or Stratix® 10 devices include a transceiver reconfiguration controller block and do not require an external reconfiguration controller. You can use the IP Catalog to generate the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller Intel FPGA IP required for Arria V, Arria V GZ, Cyclone V, and Stratix V designs.
  1. When you configure the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller, you must specify the number of reconfiguration interfaces. The number of reconfiguration interfaces required for the CPRI IP depends on the CPRI IP configuration and your design.For example, you can configure your reconfiguration controller with additional interfaces if your design connects with multiple transceiver IPs. You can leave other options at the default settings or modify them for your preference. Refer to the V-Series Transceiver PHY User Guide.
  2. Connect the reconfig_to_xcvr and reconfig_from_xcvr ports of the CPRI IP to the corresponding ports of the reconfiguration controller.
  3. Drive the CPRI IP reconfig_clk input port and the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller mgmt_clk_clk input port from the same clock source. Drive both ports at a clock frequency in the range of 100–150MHz.
