# Taxi Example Design for VCU118
## Introduction
This example design targets the Xilinx VCU118 FPGA board.
The design places looped-back MACs on the BASE-T and QSFP28 ports as well as a looped-back UART on on the USB UART connection.
* USB UART
* Looped-back UART
* RJ-45 Ethernet port with TI DP83867ISRGZ PHY
* Looped-back MAC via SGMII via Xilinx PCS/PMA core and LVDS IOSERDES
* QSFP28
* Looped-back 10GBASE-R or 25GBASE-R MACs via GTY transceivers
## Board details
* FPGA: xcvu9p-flga2104-2L-e
* 1000BASE-T PHY: TI DP83867ISRGZ via SGMII
* 25GBASE-R PHY: Soft PCS with GTY 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 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.
