In Qsys, why are the Triple Speed Ethernet(TSE) clock names for Arria 10 not described in the User Guide?

Environment

  • Quartus® II Subscription Edition
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
    Description

    The TSE User Guide describes the clock names used in the IP Catalog flow for devices released prior to Arria® 10.

    Resolution

    The following Qsys clock names are equivalent to the documented clock names:

    control_port_clock_connection = clk
    receive_clock_connection = ff_rx_clk
    transmit_clock_connection = ff_tx_clk
    pcs_ref_clk_clock_connection = ref_clk
    tx_serial_clk = comes for the external TXPLL
    rx_cdr_refclk = ref_clk

    In Arria 10 the TX PLL is external to the TSE IP and must be manually generated and connected by user RTL. You must configure the Arria 10 Transceiver ATX PLL with an output clock frequency of 1250.0 MHz.
