Hi there, 

 

How could I check eye diagram of transceivers on Cyclone V device? I searched from Google, there is an application note AN605 which is related to Straix device, is there a similar application note for Cyclone V? 

 

Thx.

You can use the toolkit with Cyclone V but will not get the eye diagram info.

Hi cnie, 

 

As I understand it, Cyclone V does not support EyeQ feature. Thus, you would not be able to plot 2D eye with XCVR toolkit. As a workaround, you might want to use scope to check the eye diagram.
