Taxi Example Design for ZCU102

Introduction

This example design targets the Xilinx ZCU102 FPGA board.

The design places looped-back MACs on the SFP+ ports, as well as XFCP on the USB UART for monitoring and control.

• USB UART
  • XFCP (2 Mbaud)
  • Looped-back UART
• QSFP28
  • Looped-back 10GBASE-R MACs via GTH transceivers

Board details

• FPGA: xczu9eg-ffvb1156-2-e
• USB UART: Silicon Labs CP2108
• 10GBASE-R PHY: Soft PCS with GTH transceivers

Licensing

• Toolchain
  • Vivado Enterprise (requires license)
• 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 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.
