3.2.1. Example Link Bring Up Using E-Tile Hard IP

This section covers an example of link bring up for the E-Tile Hard IP for Ethernet Intel® FPGA IP. Perform the following steps to establish Ethernet link:

If your design (.sof) instantiates Ethernet IP with Enable AN/LT parameter enabled in IP parameter editor:
  1. If you configure your IP in internal or external loopback, then turn on the Ignore Nonce parameter, and if you are using internal loopback, then turn on Enable Internal Loopback parameter.
  2. Click Reset AN/LT Sequencer in AN and LT status tab of the Ethernet Toolkit.
If your design (.sof) instantiates Ethernet IP with Enable AN/LT parameter disabled in IP parameter editor:
  • When you configure your IP in internal loopback:
    1. Turn on Enable Internal Loopback parameter.
    2. Turn on Initial Adaptation parameter.
  • When you configure your IP in external loopback or connect to a link partner:
    1. Choose a recipe from the PMA Adaptation Select option and click Apply.
    2. Click External Adaption button.
