2.6.1.5. How to Implement GbE, GbE with IEEE 1588v2 in Arria® 10 Transceivers

You should be familiar with the Standard PCS and PMA architecture, PLL architecture, and the reset controller before implementing the GbE protocol.
  1. Instantiate the Arria 10 Transceiver Native PHY IP from the IP Catalog.
  2. Select GbE or GbE 1588 from the Transceiver configuration rules list located under Datapath Options, depending on which protocol you are implementing.
  3. Use the parameter values in the tables in Native PHY IP Parameter Settings for GbE and GbE with IEEE 1588v2 as a starting point. Or, you can use the protocol presets described in Transceiver Native PHY Presets. Use the GIGE-1.25 Gbps preset for GbE, and the GIGE-1.25 Gbps 1588 preset for GbE 1588. You can then modify the setting to meet your specific requirements.
  4. Click Generate to generate the Native PHY IP core top-level RTL file.

  5. Instantiate and configure your PLL.
  6. Instantiate a transceiver reset controller.
    You can use your own reset controller or use the Native PHY Reset Controller IP core.
  7. Connect the Native PHY IP to the PLL IP and the reset controller. Use the information in the figure below to connect the ports.

  8. Simulate your design to verify its functionality.
