Changes

2018.01.04 17.0 IR3, 17.0, 17.0 Update 1, and 17.0 Update 2
  • Updated for the 17.0 software release, including Intel rebranding. Refer to Installation and Licensing, Generating aCPRI Intel FPGA IP, and CPRI Intel FPGA IP Generated Files.
  • Added Stratix 10 device family support for CPRI line bit rates of 1.2288 Gbps through 10.1376 Gbps. Because Stratix 10 device support is not available in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition releases v17.0, v17.0 Update 1, and v17.0 Update 2, this version of the Intel® FPGA IP core provides Stratix 10 device support only in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software v17.0 IR3. Auto-rate negotiation and simplex modes are not yet available for CPRI Intel® FPGA IP core variations that target a Stratix 10 device.

  • Updated speed grade support table.

    • Added Stratix 10 support.
    • Added previously missing speed grade information for Arria V GZ devices at CPRI line rate 9.8304 Gbps.
    • Removed Arria 10 support for the CPRI line rate of 0.6144 Gbps. In the 17.0.260 release, the Intel® FPGA IP core no longer supports the CPRI line rate of 0.6144 Gbps for Arria 10 devices.
    • Corrected entries for Arria V GT and Cyclone V GT devices. The previous entries listed speed grades that do not exist for these devices.
  • Updated Intel® FPGA IP core parameters.
    • Updated default value of Line bit rate parameter. Arria® 10 and Stratix® 10 devices do not support the CPRI line bit rate of 0.6144 Gbps. The new default value is the lowest CPRI line bit rate the target device family supports: 1228.8 Mbps for Arria® 10 and Stratix® 10 device families; 614.4 Mbps (as before) for all other supported device families.
    • Specified the Stratix® 10 device family supports only TX/RX Duplex operation mode in the 17.0.260 release.
    • Moved Core clock source input parameter before Transmitter local clock division factor parameter.
    • Specified that Intel® FPGA IP core variations that target an Arria® 10 or Stratix® 10 device, with Line bit rate set to the value of 4915.2 Mbps or lower, support only the value of 1 for the Transmitter local clock division factor parameter. This change is new in the 17.0.260 release.
    • Specified that Intel® FPGA IP core variations that target a device family other than the Stratix V device family, support only the value of 1 for the Number of receiver CDR reference clock(s) parameter.
    • Added new VCCR_GXB and VCCT_GXB supply voltage for the transceiver parameter. This parameter affects the Intel® FPGA IP core only if it targets an Stratix® 10 device.
    • Specified the Recovered clock source parameter is not available for Arria® 10 and Stratix® 10 devices. Intel® FPGA IP cores that target either of these device families, support only a PCS clock source for the xcvr_recovered_clk.
    • Specified the Enable single-trip delay calibration parameter is only available for Arria® 10 devices.
    • Specified the Enable line bit rate auto-negotiation parameter is not available for Intel® FPGA IP core variations that target an Stratix® 10 device.

  • Added L1 Debug Interface section to document the signals on this interface. This information was previously missing.
  • Corrected statement that the transceiver debug signals are available if you turn on Enable debug interface in the CPRI Intel® FPGA IP core parameter editor. The name of the parameter is Enable L1 debug interfaces.
  • Corrected TX MII timing diagram in Media Independent Interface (MII) to External Ethernet Block by removing extraneous HALT symbol (/F/).
  • Clarified that external Ethernet block must assert the mii_txen signal two cycles before it presents valid data on mii_txd[3:0], to allow the Intel® FPGA IP core to insert the /J/ and /K/ nibbles in outgoing CPRI communication to indicate start-of-packet.
  • Corrected GMII example waveforms in Gigabit Media Independent Interface (GMII) to External Ethernet Block. Control symbol is /V/ not /FE/, and the value of the symbol is 0x0E, not 0xFE. Also corrected text in section where appropriate.
  • Corrected rows for register DELAY_CAL_STD_CTRL2 and below in Control and Status Register Map table. Offsets for these registers were already correct in sections for individual registers, but were listed incorrectly in the Control and Status Register Map table.
  • Clarified that the value in the startup_timer_period field of the START_UP_TIMER register at offset 0x28 is the number of cpri_coreclk clock cycles to the threshold.
  • Clarified that the value of the cal_rtd_ctrl field in the DELAY_CAL_RTD register at offset 0x80 is one-hot encoded.
  • Clarified origin of accepted HDLC and Ethernet rates.
  • Clarified that when the cal_tx_delay_usr_en field of the DELAY_CAL_STD_CTRL5 register at offset 0x70 has the value of 1, this value overrides the cal_rcv_en field in the DELAY_CAL_STD_CTRL4 register at offset 0x6C.
  • Filled in field names for tx_ctrl_seq and tx_ctrl_x fields of CTRL_INDEX register at offset 0x30, which were previously missing.
  • Corrected direction of rx_ready and tx_ready output signals from reset controller. Refer to Adding the Reset Controller.
  • Added Compiling the Full Design and Programming the FPGA section in Getting Started chapter. This section provides the location of the Synopsys Design Constraints file (.sdc) generated with the Intel® FPGA IP core.
  • Removed How to Contact and Typographic Conventions sections.
  • Removed Differences Between CPRI Intel® FPGA IP Core and CPRI Intel® FPGA IP Core appendix. The CPRI Intel® FPGA IP core is not available for recent versions of the Quartus® Prime software.
  • Removed Installation and Licensing Features section, which described the OpenCore Plus feature. Because the CPRI Intel® FPGA IP core is available from the SSLC only with a license, this feature is not relevant.
  • Added new section with links to older published versions of this user guide. If a correction was published for the same software version, only the corrected version is available. Refer to User Guide Archives.
  • Fixed assorted typos and minor errors.

  • Updated Intel® FPGA IP core parameters. Refer to CPRI Intel® FPGA IP Core Parameters.
    • Added new Operation mode parameter. This parameter determines whether the Intel® FPGA IP core is in TX simplex, RX simplex, or duplex mode. Note the old Operation mode parameter from previous releases is renamed .
    • Renamed the old Operation mode parameter to Synchronization mode. This parameter determines the default clocking mode of the Intel® FPGA IP core (Master or Slave clocking mode). Unfortunately, the operation_mode field of the LI_CONFIG register is not renamed. This field supports dynamic reconfiguration of the Intel® FPGA IP core clocking mode. Refer to L1_CONFIG Register.
    • Added new Transmitter local clock division factor parameter. This parameter enables you to include multiple instances of the CPRI Intel® FPGA IP core with different CPRI line bit rates using the same external transceiver TX PLL.
    • Added new Number of receiver CDR reference clock(s) parameter. This parameter supports Stratix V variations in auto-negotiation to or from the CPRI line bit rate of 10.1376 Gbps.
    • Added new Recovered clock source parameter. This parameter supports auto-negotiation in Stratix V variations to or from the CPRI line bit rate of 10.1376 Gbps.
    • Changed name of Bit rate (Mbit/s) parameter to Line bit rate (MBit/s). Enhanced description to include new supported devices.
    • Changed name of Supported receiver CDR frequency (MHz) parameter to Receiver CDR reference clock frequency (MHz).
    • Changed name of Receiver FIFO depth parameter to Receiver soft buffer depth.
    • Changed name of Enable auto-rate negotiation parameter to Enable line bit rate auto-negotiation.
    • Changed name of Enable auto-rate negotiation down to 614.4 Mbps parameter to Enable line bit rate auto-negotiation down to 614.4 Mbps.
    • Changed name of Supported CPU interface standard parameter to Management (CSR) interface standard.
    • Changed name of Auxiliary latency cycle(s) parameter to Auxiliary and direct interfaces write latency cycle(s).
    • Changed name of Enable all control word access parameter to Enable all control word access via management interface.
    • Changed name of Enable Z.130.0 access interface parameter to Enable direct Z.130.0 alarm bits access interface.
    • Changed name of Enable real-time vendor specific interface (R-16A) parameter to Enable direct real-time vendor specific interface .
    • Changed name of Enable L1 inband protocol negotiator parameter to Enable protocol version and C&M channel setting auto-negotiation.
    • Changed order of some L1 Feature parameters to reflect their new order in the CPRI parameter editor.
    • Changed name of Enable direct HDLC serial interface parameter to Enable HDLC serial interface.
    • Changed name of Enable IEEE 802.3 100BASE-X 100Mbps MII On/Off parameter to Ethernet PCS interface multi-value parameter, and added new parameter value GMII. The On/Off parameter supported the values "None" and "MII", which are still available.
    • Added allowed value of 11 for L2 Ethernet PCS Tx/Rx FIFO depth parameter, increasing the maximum L2 Ethernet buffer depth to 2048.
    • Changed names of loopback-enable parameters to include "serial" or "parallel."
  • Appended "_n" to names of active low reset signals.
  • Modified recommended reset connections and added four new Intel® FPGA IP core reset signals: reset_tx_n, reset_rx_n, xcvr_reset_tx, and xcvr_reset_rx.
