Implementing UNH-IOL test suite compliance in Arria GX and Stratix II GX Gigabit Ethernet designs
Keywords:application note? Ethernet? design Gigabit?
Altera's Stratix II GX and Arria GX FPGAs provide a GIGE solution that is compliant with the IEEE 802.3 1000 BASE-X specification.
GIGE applications include line cards, NIC cards, and switches. Implementing The University of New Hampshire-InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) test suite compliance in GIGE designs using Altera's Stratix II GX or Arria GX devices help interoperability with other devices for applications requiring link auto-negotiation.
This application note describes implementation details required for GIGE designs that do not use Altera's TSE MegaCore and require UNH-IOL compliance. It also describes how to target Stratix II GX and Arria GX GIGE designs for UNH-IOL compliance using the Quartus II MegaWizard Plug-In Manager and additional logic where applicable.
