2.6.2.2. How to Implement 10GBASE-R, 10GBASE-R with IEEE 1588v2, and
10GBASE-R with FEC in Arria 10 Transceivers
You should be familiar with the 10GBASE-R and PMA architecture, PLL architecture,
and the reset controller before implementing the 10GBASE-R, 10GBASE-R with IEEE
1588v2, or 10GBASE-R with FEC Transceiver Configuration Rules.
You must design your own MAC and other layers in the FPGA to implement the
10GBASE-R, 10GBASE-R with 1588, or 10GBASE-R with KR FEC Transceiver
Configuration Rule using the Native PHY IP.
1. Instantiate the Arria 10 Transceiver Native PHY IP from the IP Catalog.
Refer to Select and Instantiate the PHY IP Core on page 33 for more details.
2. Select 10GBASE-R, 10GBASE-R 1588, or 10GBASE-R with KR FEC from the
Transceiver configuration rule list located under Datapath Options,
depending on which protocol you are implementing.
3. Use the parameter values in the tables in Transceiver Native PHY Parameters for
the 10GBASE-R Protocol as a starting point. Or, you can use the protocol presets
described in Transceiver Native PHY Presets. Select 10GBASE-R Register Mode
for 10GBASE-R with IEEE 1588v2. You can then modify the settings to meet
your specific requirements.
4. Click Generate to generate the Native PHY IP core RTL file.

Notes:
1. For 10GBASE-R with 1588 configurations, this signal is user-controlled.
2. For 10GBASE-R with 1588 configurations, this signal is connected from the output of TX FIFO in the FPGA fabric.
5. Instantiate and configure your PLL.
