Hi, 

I have been trying to test SMA Loopback test on Cyclone IV GX Transceiver Starter Kit. Even after Board modification (installing R51 R54 C57 C60 and removing R52 R53 C58 C59) the start stop tabs under SMA tab on Board System Check doesn't come up. 

Did any have facing the same problem? 

Thanks

i don't think the current version of the BTS software supports SMA loopback.

sorry, the FPGA image doesn't yet support it. i think you might have to download the newest version of the CIVGX kit installer and take a look at the BTS design. you can start by un-checking the serial loopback and recompile.
