1.3.4 XCVR_Debug
(Ask a Question)The following figure shows the IP blocks inside the XCVR_Debug block. The XCVR_Debug block demonstrates SmartDebug's real-time Signal Integrity (SI) testing and debugging capabilities to test and debug the PolarFire transceiver. This block contains CoreSmartBERT, TX_PLL, and XCVR_REF_CLK IP cores. CoreSmartBERT implements the PolarFire transceiver in the PMA mode.
Important: SmartBERT includes the PolarFire Transceiver, which interfaces to the SmartDEBUG tool through a user control GUI to run the hardened PRBS generator and checkers. It also has fabric pattern generators and checks with more features like error injection.
