1.1. Overview

Dynamic reconfiguration in F-tile supports two types of solutions: separate soft IP and shared soft IP.

The separate soft IP solution instantiates a single instance of different IPs such as the F-Tile Ethernet Intel® FPGA Hard IP, F-Tile CPRI PHY Intel® FPGA IP, or F-Tile PMA and FEC Direct PHY Intel® FPGA IP, combined to reconfigure over an identified set of transceiver channels. The soft IP logic remains separate for each instance. Along with the single instance, you must configure the F-Tile Dynamic Reconfiguration Suite Intel FPGA IP to perform the reconfiguration setup and the data path to the EMIBs.

The multirate soft IP addresses the limitation of the separate soft IP method by providing the resource optimization. The multirate soft IP core supports different Ethernet configurations based on the control status register (CSR) programming.

This document describes the shared soft F-Tile Ethernet Multirate Intel® FPGA IP solution for the dynamic reconfiguration in F-tile.
