8.5.3. Run the Hardware Test

Follow these steps to test the hardware design example on the System Console:
  1. Open Tools > System Debugging Tools > System Console or type the command: 
    system-console &
  2. In the TCl Console window, type cd hwtest to change directory to <design_example_dir>/hardware_test_design/hwtest
  3. Type source main_10G_ptp.tcl to list the available JTAG masters:
  4. Type set_jtag <index> to select the appropriate JTAG master.
  5. Run one of the following commands:
    • If you use the internal serial loopback, enter the following command: 
      run_test_with_loopback
    • If you inserted an external loopback plug into the desired Ethernet port, enter the following command:
      run_test
  6. The hardware design example uses the run_test/run_test_without_loopback command to initiate packet transmission from the packet generator to the IP core. Specifically, the script performs the following steps:
    • chkphy_status: Displays the clock frequencies and PMA PHY lock status.
    • chkmac_stats: Displays the MAC statistics counters.
    • clear_all_stats: Clears the IP core statistics counters.
    • start_pkt_gen: Starts the packet generator.
    • stop_pkt_gen: Stops the packet generator.
    • run_test_without_loopback: Turns on internal serial loopback.
    • run_test: Turns off internal serial loopback.
    • reg_read <addr>: Returns the IP core register value at <addr>. Example to read the GUI options: Type reg_read 0x100.
    • reg_write <addr> <data>: Writes <data> to the IP core register at address<addr>. Example to initiate soft reset on RX datapath: Type reg_write 0x108 0x0004.
  7. Verify that the output of the TCL script matches the output from a sample test run, shown below:
