2.7. Running the CPRI IP Design Example

  1. In the Quartus® Prime software IP Catalog, select the CPRI Intel® FPGA IP and click Add.
  2. When prompted, you can specify any output file type (HDL). This setting is relevant only for synthesis and does not impact simulation of the demonstration testbench.
  3. In the CPRI parameter editor, set the following parameter values:
    Table 17.   CPRI Intel® FPGA IP Core Variation for Demonstration TestbenchThe testbench scripts require that you set these values in the CPRI parameter editor before you click Generate Example Design. The scripts generate the DUT but they require that you provide the parameter values.
    Parameter Value
    Line bit rate (Mbit/s) Any value the device family supports.
    Synchronization mode Host
    Enable Reed-Solomon Forward Error Correction (RSFEC) Turn Off
    Operation mode Any available mode
    Transmitter local clock division factor 1
    Number of receiver CDR reference clock(s) 1
    Receiver CDR reference clock frequency (MHz)

    253.44 if the Line bit rate is 8.11008 or 10.1376 or 12.16512 Gbps and the IP targets the Stratix® 10 device family

    368.64 if the Line bit rate is 24.33024 Gbps and the IP targets the Stratix® 10 device family

    253.44 if the Line bit rate is 8.11008 or 10.1376 Gbps and the IP targets the Arria® 10 device family

    253.44 if the Line bit rate is 8.11008 or 10.1376 Gbps and the IP targets a 28-nm device family

    253.44 if the Line bit rate is 8.11008 Gbps and the IP targets Arria® V GZ device family

    307.2 for all other cases

    Unused for E-tile, F-tile, and Intel Agilex 5 devices.

    Core clock source input Internal or External
    Recovered clock source PMA if the Line bit rate is 10.1376 Gbps and IP core targets the Stratix V device family; PCS otherwise. Unused for E-tile, F-tile, and Agilex 5 devices.
    PMA reference frequency (MHz)

    184.32 if the line bit rate is 10.1376 Gbps; 153.6 otherwise. Only for Agilex 5 devices.

    Language for top-level simulation file
    • Verilog
    • VHDL
    Enable Auto Rate Negotiation ED You must turn on if you have turned on parameter Enable line bit rate auto-negotiation and vice versa.
  4. In the CPRI parameter editor, click the Generate Example Design button and specify the desired location of the testbench.
  5. Change directory to <your_ip>/setup_scripts/<simulator_vendor> .
  6. For Agilex® 7 F-tile devices, perform these additional steps:
    1. Navigate to the <your_ip>/ip_components directory and perform these two commands:
      quartus_ipgenerate --run_default_mode_op tb_top -c tb_top
      quartus_tlg tb_top
      Alternately, you may open the tb_top.qpf project in Quartus® Prime and perform the compilation until support logic generation stage.
    2. Navigate to the <your_ip>/simulation/setup_scripts directory.
    3. Perform the following command:
      ip-setup-simulation --use-relative-paths --quartus-project=../ip_components/tb_top.qpf
  7. If you are using a simulator that requires that you open a user interface, open your target simulator.
    Note: You must select a simulator that is supported by your Quartus® Prime software version. E-tile and Agilex™ 5 devices do not support Riviera-PRO* simulator.
  8. Execute the simulation script available for your simulation in the directory.
    In the QuestaSim* simulator, type do msim_commands.do.
  9. You can modify testbench parameters from a file params_list.sv, located at <your_ip>/testbench location.
