Taxi Example Design for KR260

Introduction

This example design targets the Xilinx KR260 FPGA board.

The design places looped-back MACs on the BASE-T ports and SFP+ cage, as well as a looped-back UART on on the USB UART connection.

  • USB UART
    • Looped-back UART
  • RJ-45 Ethernet ports with TI DP83867CSRGZ PHY
    • Looped-back MAC via RGMII
  • SFP+ cage
    • Looped-back 1000BASE-X via Xilinx PCS/PMA core and GTH transceiver

Board details

  • FPGA: xck26-sfvc784-2LV-c
  • 1000BASE-T PHY: TI DP83867CSRGZ via RGMII
  • 1000BASE-X PHY: Xilinx PCS/PMA core via GTH transceiver

Licensing

  • Toolchain
    • Vivado Standard (enterprise license not required)
  • IP
    • No licensed vendor IP or 3rd party IP

How to build

Run make in the appropriate fpga* subdirectory to build the bitstream. Ensure that the Xilinx Vivado toolchain components are in PATH.

How to test

Run make program to program the board with Vivado.

To test the looped-back UART, use any serial terminal software like minicom, screen, etc. The looped-back UART will echo typed text back without modification.

To test the looped-back MAC, it is recommended to use a network tester like the Viavi T-BERD 5800 that supports basic layer 2 tests with a loopback. Do not connect the looped-back MAC to a network as the reflected packets may cause problems.
