Make sure to verify the following aspects for the Kintex UltraScale KCU105 board:
- Do not use the
phy_rst_n
automation in SGMII over LVDS mode.Using this
phy_rst_n
causes a deadlock condition during reset. The on-board PHY of this board does not generate the reference clock during reset that is required by the AXI 1G/2.5G Ethernet subsystem to de-assert thephy_rst_n
, thus causing a deadlock. - When using this board, select Include Shared Logic in IP Example Design for the AXI 1G/2.5G Ethernet subsystem.
The on-board PHY generates a 625 MHz clock. Using a clock wizard, the required clocks for this mode can be generated. Block automation also helps in connecting to a clock wizard. This mode also requires an IDELAY control module to be instantiated outside the AXI 1G/2.5G Ethernet subsystem.
