Is there an IP I can use to do Bit Error Ratio Tester for Gigbit transceivers?

[Altera_Forum]

I have a design which will use gigbit transceivers, I wonder is ther an IP I can use to do Bit Error Ratio Tester to verify whether the hardware is in good shape or not? 

 Thanks in advance.

Use the Transceiver Toolkit ... its part of the Quartus GUI 

 http://www.altera.com/products/software/quartus-ii/transceiver/swf-transceiver-toolkit.html  http://www.altera.com/support/examples/on-chip-debugging/on-chip-debugging.html  Basically the examples create a Qsys system with a PHY, a PRBS pattern generator and a checker. You can then the Quartus Transceiver Toolkit GUI to control the Qsys system and generate bath-tub plots, etc.  Cheers, Dave

It seems the PRBS pattern generator and checker, these two IPs are not in Quartus II as default, we have to download them and install, right?  Thanks.

Read the documentation for each to determine which ones you want. Better yet, just open the examples at the link I provided above and see what they used (once the Altera site comes back online).  Cheers, Dave
