Reconfiguring a Transceiver using Streamer Based Reconfiguration

[Altera_Forum]

Hello everyone, 

 I have instantiated a receiver using the "Arria V Transceiver Native Phy Core" at 1.25 Gbps. I would like to simply change the data rate from 1.25Gbps to 2.5Gbps. In order to do so, I have created a second mif file which has 2.5Gbps labeled as the data rate. I am also using "Rom Port 1" megafunction to store the 2 mif files. My question pertains to the actual process of streaming the mif to reconfigure my transceiver.    Given below are the directions to reconfigure a transceiver using streamer based reconfiguration. The instructions are taken from page page 524 of "Altera Transceiver PHY IP Core User Guide". my questions is, what is the base address of the mif file? My project is due soon and I could REALLY use someone's help. Please help me! I would greatly appreciate it!   Streamer-Based Reconfiguration Follow these steps to reconfigure a transceiver setting by streaming the contents of a MIF file through the Streamer Module. 1. Write the logical channel number to the Streamer logical channel register. 2.Write MIF mode, 2’b00, to the Streamer control and status register mode bits. 3.Write the MIF base address, 0x0, to the Streameroffsetregister. 4.Write the base address of the MIF file to the Streamer data register. 5.Write the Streamer control and status register write bit to 1'b1 to initiate a write of all the data set in the previous steps. 6.Write to the Streamer offset register with the value to start a MIF stream, 0x1. 7.Write the Streamer internal data register with the value 0x3 to setup the streaming of the MIF. 8.Write to the Streamer control and statusregister to 1'b1, to initiate the streaming operation. 9.Read the control and status register busy bit. When the busy bit is deasserted, the MIF streaming operation has completed
