1.8.7.1 Configuration Report

The Configuration Report feature creates a report that shows the physical location, Tx and Rx PLL lock status, and data width of all enabled transceiver lanes. This report includes the following lane parameters:

  • Physical Location: Physical location of the transceiver lanes in the system.
  • Tx PMA Ready: Tx lane of the transceiver is powered up and ready for transactions.
  • Rx PMA Ready: Rx lane is powered up and ready for transactions.
  • TX PLL: TX PLL of the transceiver is locked.
  • RX PLL: RX PLL of the transceiver is locked.
  • Data Width: Configured data width of the corresponding lanes in the transceiver.

The following figure shows the Configuration Report tab.

Important: The initial status of RX PLL and RX CDR PLL status is inactive. The status changes to active when the data is sent. SmartBERT is configured in CDR mode, so the data must be sent to get the PLL Locked. Go to the Smart BERT tab, select the XCVR instance and start the data transmission using the default PRBS pattern. Then, the status changes to active.
