Intel altera Cyclone V SoC - The HSMC Tab

5.3.7. The HSMC Tab
The HSMC tab allows you to perform loopback tests on the XCVR, LVDS, and CMOS
ports.
Note:
This tab requires that a bts.ini file with QTS=ON specified at the 1st line reside in
the same directory as BoardTestSystem.bat. Removing or renaming this file runs
an older version of this tab, which is grayed out by default. See the readme.txt in
that same directory for more information.
Figure 14. The HSMC Tab
Attention: You must have the loopback HSMC installed on the HSMC Port A connector for this test
to work correctly.
The following sections describe the controls on the HSMC tab.
Start, Stop
The Start and Stop controls at the bottom-right of this tab allow you to start and stop
testing for all three ports.
XVCR, LVDS, CMOS
These groups displays the following XCVR, LVDS, and CMOS status information during
the loopback test:
• Data rate: Displays the current XCVR data rate in megabytes per second (MBps).
• Freq: Displays the data rate frequency in MHz which is equivalent to Mbps.
• Bits: Displays the number of bits transmitted since clicking Start
• Inserted errors: Displays the number of errors inserted by clicking Insert Error
button.
