Does the Multi-Rate Ethernet PHY Intel® FPGA IP supports MGBASE-T for Cyclone 10 GX?

[nanoupelec]

We managed to implement the Multi-Rate PHY on a Cyclone 10-GX with 10GBASE-R protocol but it seems that it does not accept 1000BASE-X  protocol.

From documentation this is only possible when using the MGBASE-T mode , however we can not instantiated this mode in the IP core configuration (greyed out), we only could instantiated USXGMII.

Can someone advise?

Hi,

You can find multirate PHY IP user guide in below doc link (chapter 2)

• https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/hb/cyclone-10/ug_cyclone10_xcvr_phy.pdf

I can see that in page 100, table 104 - it's clearly stated that C10 GX device doesn't support  MGBASE-T PHY.

So, I hope I clear your doubt

Thanks.
