4.4.3. Combined LVDS SERDES IP Transmitter and Receiver Design Example

The combined transmitter and receiver design example uses your LVDS SERDES IP parameter settings and adds a complementary transmitter or receiver interface. Both interfaces are connected to the same external PLL. You can use the design example to see how to connect the transmitter and receiver interfaces.
Note: The combined transmitter and receiver design example does not support the duplex mode. If your LVDS SERDES IP uses the Duplex Feature mode, ignore the ed_synth_tx_rx.qsys file generated by the Generate Example Design command.

If your LVDS SERDES IP configuration implements a transmitter, the design example adds a DPA-FIFO receiver. If your LVDS SERDES IP configuration implements any of the receiver interfaces, the design example adds a transmitter.

Generating and Using the Design Example

To generate the combined transmitter and receiver design example from the source files, run the following command in the design example directory:

quartus_sh -t make_qii_design.tcl -system ed_synth_tx_rx

The TCL script creates a qii_ed_synth_tx_rx directory that contains the ed_synth_tx_rx.qpf project file. You can open and compile this project in the Quartus® Prime software.

For more information about make_qii_design.tcl arguments, run the following command:

quartus_sh -t make_qii_design.tcl -help
