1.1.2. Base Profile

The base profile (Profile #0) is a superset profile within a reconfiguration group. The base profile defines the highest PMA or FEC direct data rates and uses all the PMA lanes allocated for the group. Profile #0 is always the base profile that uses the reconfiguration group profile settings.

The base profile (Profile #0) is always present in the F-Tile PMA/FEC Direct PHY Multirate Intel FPGA IP. Most of the IP configuration parameters in the base profile (Profile #0 IP Configuration) are automatically populated.

The F-Tile PMA/FEC Direct PHY Multirate Intel FPGA IP ports selection option is only available in the base profile (Profile #0). For example, you can enable specific ports such as tx_pmaif_fifo_pfull, tx_pmaif_fifo_pempty in the base profile and not in the secondary profiles. All ports selected and configured in the base profile are available at the top level and you can decide if you need these ports during run time.
