3. eCPRI IP Parameters

You customize the IP by specifying parameters in the IP parameter editor.
Table 9.  Parameters: Configuration Tab
Parameter Supported Values Default Setting Description
Transceiver Tile to be used E

F

H

 E You can choose:
  • H-tile or E-tile for your Stratix® 10 device
  • E-tile or F-tile for your Agilex™ 7 device
Note: This parameter is not in the Arria® 10 IP variations.
Data Width 64 64 Primary data bus width.
PTP Timestamp Fingerprint Width 6 to 30 6

This parameter indicates the width for fingerprint ID signal at external sink interfaces. The IP module appends a 2-bits encoding data to differentiate fingerprint responses for both eCPRI and external sink interface packets.

You can find more details in Section 4.2.1 of the user guide.

The valid range for this parameter is from 6 to 30.

For E tiles, the width fixed to 6.

For and /F-Tiles, you can configure the width within the range of 6 to 30.

Protocol Revision 1 1 Specifies eCPRI protocol revision used in eCPRI common header.

This option is grayed out in the current version of the Quartus® Prime software.

Delay Measurement off

one_step

two_step

 one_step Indicates option to support and the operation mode of delay measurement for eCPRI message type 5 delay measurement.

When you select off, the IP does not include the delay measurement logic.

RX external data path FIFO depth

16

32

64

128

256

 64 Indicates the depth of the RX external data path FIFO.

The actual depth is log2 of the FIFO depth.

Number of External Sink Interface 1, 2 1 Indicates the number of external sink interfaces generated for you. 1
External Sink 1 Queue FIFO Depth

64

128

256

 64 Indicates the depth of the external sink 1 interface FIFO buffer.

The actual depth is log2 of the FIFO depth.

Advance Mapping Mode On

Off

 On When you turn on this parameter with the mf_en bit set in eCPRI Common Control register, it allows the mapping of the destination MAC address and VLAN tag CSE to eCPRI message PC_ID field.
L2L3 Parser On or off On Turn on or off the IP L2 and L3 parser. When you turn it off, the IP has no external sink or source interface. The IP keeps the MAC sink and source interface with no port changes.
Pair with ORAN On

Off

 Off Turn on this option to pair your eCPRI Intel® FPGA IP with Intel® O-RAN FPGA IP. You can also pair your eCPRI Intel® FPGA IP with any external vendor O-RAN IP.
Note: When you turn on this parameter, the eCPRI Intel FPGA IP only supports message type 0, 2, and 5.
Streaming On

Off

 Off Indicates Ethernet frame size.
When you turn off this parameter, the maximum Ethernet frame size can be 1500 bytes, and when you turn on, the maximum Ethernet frame size can be 9,000 bytes.
Note: When you turn on this parameter, the sink_pkt_size port is available at the Sink Interface of the eCPRI Intel FPGA IP.
Interworking Function (IWF) Support On

Off

 Off Turn on this option to connect your eCPRI IP with one CPRI IP node.
The eCPRI Intel FPGA IP currently support IWF Type 0 only. It does not support IWF type 1 and type 2 in current release of the IP.
