Description
Create a serial I/O analyzer scan object for the specified communication link on the IBERT debug core.
To analyze the margin of a given link, it is often helpful to run a scan of the link using the specialized Eye Scan hardware of Xilinx UltraScale devices or 7 series FPGAs. The Vivado serial I/O analyzer feature lets you to create, run, and save link scans.
This command creates and returns a link scan object that you can use with the run_hw_sio_scan
command to run analysis on the specified links, or GT receivers. You can also save the scan to disk using the write_hw_sio_scan
command.
You can remove the created scan object using remove_hw_sio_scan
.
This command returns the hw_sio_scan object, or returns an error if the command fails.
Arguments
-description
<arg> - (Optional) Provide a brief description that acts as a label for the serial I/O analyzer scan. The description can be used to identify the <hw_sio_scan> object. For instance, you can identify the receiver port, so that when you are sweeping many ports you can keep track of which port the scan plot s for.
-link_settings
<arg> - (Optional) Specify a list of Link properties and values to set before running the scan. If no link settings are provided, the default settings are used. Refer to Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Programming and Debugging (UG908) for a description of scan properties and settings.
-quiet
- (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
-verbose
- (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
set_msg_config
command.- 1d_bathtub - Scan all horizontal sampling points through the 0 vertical axis.
- 2d_full_eye - Scan all horizontal and vertical sampling points to create an "eye".
get_hw_sio_links
or get_hw_sio_rxs
commands.
