Arria 10 Transceiver Native PHY for simply connection.. problems!

[Altera_Forum]

Good 2018 to everyone! 

 I'm attempting to simulate (Quartus Prime 17.0.2+Altera Modelsim) a simply Transceiver application: TX/RX single lane at 5,250 Gbps link between arria10 boards  I'm started from A10_SIBoard_SuperliteII_Video_1_Lane_10Gbps demo example project , changing some parameters to adapt application to my rate   I use Basic (enhanced PCS) mode, 64/66 (2 controls bit) , data rate 5250 Mhz. Internal Scrambler could be set or not.. my change is resumed here:     parameter superliteii_video_1lane_10gbps my project    XTAL * 148.5 Mhz 125 Mhz -> ½ divider   ATX PLL in 148.5 Mhz 62.5 Mhz   ATX PLL out -> tx_serial_clk0 5197.5 Mhz 2625 Mhz   Serial line rate 10.395 Gbps 5.25 Gbps   Tx parallel words rate 157.5 Mhz 65.625 Mhz   Rx parallel words rate 157.5 Mhz 65.625 Mhz   Cdr_ref_clock (Clock & data recovery transceiver) 148.5 Mhz 62.5 Mhz   RX CDR reference clock frequency 148.5 Mhz 62.5 Mhz   RX PMA & RX PMA dividers 33 40     Then, I Try to simulate a simply loop (internal loop Serialpbken)   I have a bad behaviour:  1) the native IP resets seems too short: I program 70000 ns but IP resets give me very short times 2) the phy runs, it create the rx clocks well.. but the received words (simply 64 bit counter sequence for test) lost one word every 10 / 20... !!! I tried with and without scrambler, I fix control bits to 01 but  the phy works bad..... Have you similar experiences with this object???   Thank you to everyone for any suggestion   Phil

Checking transceiver parallelel data out: phy seems cut one sample every 9/10 .. after some time, the output restart rewriting old samples..  

but the recovered rx clock is correct: rx_is_locked_data signal is always high, cal_busy is always low! All check signals are correct... I cannot understand what is the problem! I understand that the 2 control bits are sent/received in trasparent mode, and I would use them to sync may frame... but at this stage I fixed them to test the phy! It fails!

FOUND PROBLEM!  

I read manual and I found a clock limit violation.. so I change PHY Pma Dividers to meet requirements! Now PHY runs correctly in all simulations.. I can go to hardware!!!!!

Hi Phil,  

I have a problem very similar to yours.  Can i ask you an information? What is the requirement for clock limit violation?  Have you connect tx/rx clock out into TX/rx core clock in? The pma divider is for coreclock in?  Thanks,  Marco
