Virtex-6 FPGA Integrated Block Wrapper v1.3 rev 2 and v1.5 for PCI Express - Updated MGT Settings

Description

This Answer Record contains updated MGT parameter settings for the v1.3 rev 2 core and the v1.5 core. These new settings provide a more stable link. These settings are valid for both ES and production silicon. ES silicon users should use ISE software12.1 or later and core version 1.3 rev 2. Production silicon users should use ISE software 12.1 or later and core version 1.5 or later.

Solution

Modify the parameters in the gtx_wrapper_v6.v[hd] file in the generated core's source directory to the following settings:

BIAS_CFG 17'h00000
RX_EYE_OFFSET 8'h4C
RXEQMIX 10'b0110000011
PMA_RX_CFG 25'h05CE008
DFECLKDLYADJ 6'd0
DFETAP1 5'd0
DFETAP2 5'd0
DFETAP3 4'd0
DFETAP4 4'd0


If the clocking is asynchronous, change PM_RX_CFG to be 25'h05CE049.For more information on clocking, see (Xilinx Answer 18329).
