Hi，all

I have two questions and need your help.

1.Can the 1GE Ethernet SGMII interface use the transceiver bank of Cyclone 10GX? In the cyclone 10GX development kit the SGMII interface using the non transceiver bank pins.

2.Can 88E1512/14 be used with Cyclone 10 GX to implement ​ 1GE Ethernet ?

Hi,

Pls see my reply below.

1.Can the 1GE Ethernet SGMII interface use the transceiver bank of Cyclone 10GX? In the cyclone 10GX development kit the SGMII interface using the non transceiver bank pins.

• Yes. If you refer to TSE user guide doc page 27, table 19 then you will find out that TSE IP support both LVDS pin or transceiver pin option with term and condition applied
• https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/ug/ug_ethernet.pdf

2.Can 88E1512/14 be used with Cyclone 10 GX to implement ​ 1GE Ethernet ?

• Well, I can see that C10 GX dev kit board is using Marvel PHY 88E1111 chip. I am not sure what's the difference between 88E1111 vs 88E1512. Perhaps you can consult Marvell directly to find out the difference.

Thanks.

HI,

I don't hear back from you after my feedback explanation.

Hopefully I clear your doubt.

For now, I am setting this case to closure.

Thanks.
