The compliance pattern is a repeating sequence of the four code groups: /K28.5/;
/D21.5/; /K28.5/; /D10.2/. Figure 1–53 shows the compliance pattern transmission
where the
tx_forcedispcompliance
port must be asserted in the same parallel clock
cycle as /K28.5/D21.5/ of the compliance pattern on
tx_datain[15..0]
port.
Reset Requirement
Cyclone IV GX devices meets the PCIe reset time requirement from device power up
to the link active state with the configuration schemes listed in Table 1–17.
GIGE Mode
GIGE mode provides the transceiver channel datapath configuration for GbE
(specifically the 1000 Base-X physical layer device (PHY) standard) protocol
implementation. The Cyclone IV GX transceiver provides the PMA and the following
PCS functions as defined in the IEEE 802.3 specification for 1000 Base-X PHY:
■ 8B/10B encoding and decoding
■ synchronization
If you enabled the auto-negotiation state machine in the FPGA core with the rate
match FIFO, refer to “Clock Frequency Compensation” on page 1–63.
