Description
Create a serial I/O analyzer link sweep object to run multiple scans across a range of values.
To analyze the margin of a given link, it is often helpful to run a scan of the link using the specialized features of Xilinx® UltraScale™ devices or 7 series FPGAs. It can also be helpful to run multiple scans on a the link with different configuration settings for the GTs. This can help you determine which settings are best for your design. The Vivado® serial I/O analyzer feature enables you to define, run, and save link sweeps, or collections of link scans run across a range of values.
This command creates and returns a link sweep object that you can use with the run_hw_sio_sweep
command to run analysis on the specified links, or GT receivers. You can also save the sweep scan to disk using the write_hw_sio_sweep
command.
You can remove the created sweep object using remove_hw_sio_sweep
.
This command returns the hw_sio_sweep 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 sweep scan.
-iteration_settings <arg>
- (Optional) Specify a list of properties to vary across multiple scans. Refer to Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Programming and Debugging (UG908) for a description of iteration 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".
<hw_sio_link> - (Optional) Specify the hw_sio_link to define the sweep object for. The link must be specified as objects as returned by the get_hw_sio_links
command.
Example
set xil_newSweep [create_hw_sio_sweep -description {Sweep 0} 2d_full_eye \
[lindex [get_hw_sio_links *MGT_X0Y10/TX*] 0 ]]
run_hw_sio_sweep [get_hw_sio_sweeps $xil_newSweep]
