Transceivers Interfaces and Communication Ports
Transceiver Channels
The Intel® Cyclone® 10 GX FPGA device has 12 channels of transceivers that work at 12.5 Gbps. The transceivers are organized in two banks, each bank has six channels.
| Channel Number (Bank 1C) | Function (Bank 1C) | Channel Number (Bank 1D) | Function (Bank 1D) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | FMC_DP [0] | 0 | PCIe [2] |
| 1 | FMC_DP [1] | 1 | PCIe [3] |
| 2 | FMC_DP [2] | 2 | FMC_DP [4] |
| 3 | FMC_DP [3] | 3 | SFP+ 1 |
| 4 | PCIe [0] | 4 | SFP+ 0 |
| 5 | PCIe [1] | 5 | USB3.1 |
PCIe Interface
The PCIe® x4 Gen2 Hard IP with CvP is implemented in this development kit. The position of the PCIe® channels is fixed by the hard IP. This development kit is a PCIe® add-in card. The PCIe® interface is configured to End-Point.
- Transceivers, x4, up to 5 Gbps
- PCIE_REFCLKp/n, 100 MHz from PCIe® system
- PCIE_SMBUS, 3.3V level-translated to 1.8V with U18
- PCIE_PERSTn, 3.3V level-translated to 1.8V with U17
- PCIE_WAKEn, 3.3V level-translated to 1.8V with U17, reserved
- R506 installed, x1 mode
- R507 installed, x4 mode, this is the default mode
- +12 V, +/- 8 %, up to 75 W, is used as power of the board
- +3.3 V, +/- 9 %, up to 10 W, is not used on this board
- +3.3 Vaux, +/- 9 %, 375 mA max, is not used since wakeup is not supported
SFP+ Interface
Two SFP+ connectors (J5, J6) are provided on the PCIe® bracket. Each connector supports a 10 GE SFP+ hot pluggable module.
- Transceivers, x1 for each SFP+, up to 12.5 Gbps
- SMBUS (I2C), 3.3V for SFP+ and I/O expander, level-translated 10 1.8V with U22/U23
- IRQ of I/O expander, 3.3V level-translated to 1.8V with U19
Each SFP+ module has six status/control signals and two LEDs. The FPGA device does not have enough I/O pins for these signals, hence an I/O expander is used to implement these I/Os for each SFP+ connector. The I2C I/O expander is on the same I2C bus as the SFP+ module, and the I2C bus of two SFP+ modules are independent of each other.
The I/O expander used is TI TCA9534PWR. U20 is for SFP+ 0, with I2C address 7'b010_0000. U21 is for SFP+, with I2C address 7'b010_0000.
The I/O expander has 8 I/Os. The definition of the I/Os is shown in the table below. The device is controlled with I2C bus.
| I/O Number | Signal | I/O Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| P0 | SFP_RLED | Output | Red LED, indicates LOS/ERR, "0" - ON |
| P1 | SFP_GLED | Output | Green LED, indicates Link, "0" - ON |
| P2 | SFP_TXDIS | Output | Tx_Disable, Pulled up, Transmitter is turned off if high |
| P3 | SFP_TFLT | Input | Tx_Fault, Pulled up, indicates fault when high |
| P4 | SFP_RS1 | Output | Rate Select, Pulled up with 1K resistor |
| P5 | SFP_RLOS | Input | Rx_LOS, Pulled up, indicates LOS when high |
| P6 | SFP_RS0 | Output | Rate Select, Pulled up with 1K resistor |
| P7 | SFP_PRSN | Input | Mod_ABS, Pulled up, module in place when low |
The I/Os of TCA9534 is in high impedance input mode upon power up. Hence, the module is placed in TX_Disable mode and the LEDs are off. The status changes on the I/Os are reported with an IRQ to the FPGA. Each I/O expander has its own dedicated IRQ signal.
USB3.1 Type-C Interface
A USB3.1 Type-C interface (J8) is provided on the PCIe® bracket. The interface supports SuperSpeed up to 10 Gbps as well as the backward compatible support of USB2.0.
The Type-C connector provides any orientation insertion of the cable. To support this feature, a Texas Instruments DRP port Controller and SuperSpeed 2:1 MUX HD3SS3220 is used. The port is configured in DRP mode. The controller detects the orientation of the plugged cable and multiplexes the transceiver of the FPGA to two SuperSpeed interfaces. It also determines if the port is an Upstream Facing Port (UFP) or a Downstream Facing Port (DFP). It controls the power switch to feed the power to cable when in DFP mode. HD3SS3220 is controlled by the FPGA through a dedicated I2C bus.
Parameters of USB3.1
- I2C address is 7'b110_0111 by default. It can be changed to 7'b100_0111 by installing R199 and removing R198
- Port mode is Dual Role Port (DRP) by default. It can be chnaged to DFP if R177 is installed, or UFP if R178 is installed.
- Current Advertisement is 1.5A
- EQ for channel 1: 5.5 dB
- EQ for channel 2: 5.5 dB
- VOD Gain: 0 for both channels with linear range 1200 mV.
The resistors are set in pull down mode on the board. Other configurations are available by changing the pulling resistors. EQ configurations with pin level "1" are not available.
The power of USB VBUS is controlled with a Texas Instruments power switch TPS25910. The voltage is 5 V and the maximum current is 1.5 A. The power control pin to the TPS25910 is connected to the USB_ID output of HD3SS3220. The power is applied to VBUS only when the port is in DFP mode. The power application can be controlled by the FPGA too. The USB_PWEN signal is active high because of the NMOS inverter.
USB_ID pin on HD3SS3220 indicates the port is linked as a power source (DFP), or dual-role (DRP) acting as source (DFP). USB_ID is connected to the FPGA as well as TPS25910 and USB3320.
Backward support for USB2.0 is implemented with Microchip's USB3320 USB PHY. It interfaces with the FPGA through ULPI interface. The reference clock mode for ULPI is FPGA clock output to USB3320.

I2C/PMBUS
The power and various peripherals are managed by I2C/PMBUS. The topology of the I2C bus is shown in the figure below.
Board Test System
The Intel® Cyclone® 10 GX FPGA Development Kit includes a design example and an application called the Board Test System (BTS) to test the functionality of this board. The BTS provides an easy-to-use interface to alter functional settings and observe results. You can use the BTS to test board components, modify functional parameters, observe performance and measure power usage.
While using the BTS, you reconfigure the FPGA several times with test designs specific to the functionality that you are testing. The BTS is also useful as a reference for designing systems. The BTS communicates over the JTAG bus to a test design running in the Intel® Cyclone® 10 GX GX FPGA device.
The figure below shows the Graphical User Interface (GUI) for a board that is in factory configuration.
Preparing the Board
Several designs are provided to test the major board features. Each design provides data for one or more tabs in the application. The Configure Menu identifies the appropriate design to download to the FPGA for each tab.
After successful FPGA configuration, the appropriate tab appears that allows you to exercise the related board features. Highlights appear in the board picture around the corresponding components.
The BTS communicates over the JTAG bus to a test design running in the FPGA. The BTS and Power Monitor share the JTAG bus with other applications like the Nios® II debugger and the Signal Tap II Embedded Logic Analyzer. Because the BTS is designed based on the Intel® Quartus® Prime software, be sure to close other applications before you use the BTS.
The BTS relies on the Intel® Quartus® Prime software's specific library. Before running the BTS, open the Intel® Quartus® Prime software to automatically set the environment variable $QUARTUS_ROOTDIR. The BTS uses this environment variable to locate the Intel® Quartus® Prime library. The version of Intel® Quartus® Prime software set in the QUARTUS_ROOTDIR environment variable should be newer than version 14.1. For example, the Development Kit Installer version 15.1 requires that the Intel® Quartus® Prime software 14.1 or later version to be installed.
Also, to ensure that the FPGA is configured successfully, you should install the latest Intel® Quartus® Prime software that can support the silicon on the development kit. For this board, we recommend you install Intel® Quartus® Prime version 17.1.0.240.
Please refer to the README.txt file for more information in the examples\board_test_system directory.
Running the Board Test System
Before you begin
- Connect the USB cable to your PC and the board.
- Check whether the development board swicthes and jumpers are set according to your preferences.
- Set the load selector switch (S1) to (OFF OFF) for standard ASx4 mode. The development kit ships with the EPCQ Flash device preprogrammed with a default Simple Socket Server Example.
- Turn on the power to the board. The board loads the design stored in the EPCQ flash memory into the FPGA.
To run the BTS
- Navigate to the <package dir>\examples\board_test_system directory and run the BoardTestSystem.exe application.
- A GUI appears, displaying the application tab corresponding to the design running in the FPGA. If the design loaded in the FPGA is not supported by the BTS GUI, you will receive a message prompting you to configure your board with a valid BTS design. Refer to the Configure Menu on configuring your board.
