TSE reference design

Altera_Forum · ‎03-19-2009

Hi everybody,

I am working with the TSE reference design from altera. The TSE include a MAC block, PCS and PMA.

When I use optic SFP, in loopback, everything works well. I would like to work with Copper SFP. But when I use them, it doesn't work.

The autonegociation 1000BASE-X is never complete. I tried to disable this autonegociation, thanks to the TSE_PCS_CONTROL register. When I do that, It seems to send packets, but in fact I think nothing happens, I have the following registers:

DEBUG -- premiere verif MAC_CMD_CONFIG => 0x623

DEBUG -- EMON1- Receiving Packets = 1000000

DEBUG -- EGEN1- Sending Packets = 1000000

DEBUG -- EGEN0- Configuration Setting = 0xbdc

DEBUG -- EGEN0- Seed Value High = 0x2914

DEBUG -- EGEN0- Seed Value Low = 0x54e59c61

DEBUG -- EGEN0- MAC SRC ADDR High = 0xee11

DEBUG -- EGEN0- MAC SRC ADDR Low = 0x22334450

DEBUG -- EGEN0- MAC DST ADDR High = 0xee22

DEBUG -- EGEN0- MAC DST ADDR Low = 0x33445560

DEBUG -- EMON1- RX CTL STAT = 0x1

DEBUG -- EGEN0- OPERATION = 0x1

and for the report, I have an error message:

Number: 1

Status: Error (monitor never finished; please re-download SOF to reset

system)

Run Time: 0.000 seconds

-----Link Configuration-----

TSE Sender MAC: 0xee1122334450

TSE Receiver MAC: 0xee2233445560

Link Speed: 100 (Duplex: half)

-----Sender-----

Packets to Send: 1000000 packets

(length: 1518, data type: increment)

Packets Sent: 1000000 packets (NaN packets/sec)

-----Receiver-----

Packets Received: 0 (valid: 0, error: 0)

Bytes Received: 0 bytes (rate: NaN bits/second)

I also change SFP registers, but it doesn't change anything.

Are there other registers to change?

Does anybody have an idea to help me??

Thank you for your help!!

Hi celine_86

I am having same issue with TSE reference design and it would great if you could share your experiences/pointers in solving the issue.

Thanks in advance.
