Parameter Value Description
Generate MIF
(Memory Initializa‐
tion File)
On/Off When you turn on this option, the Transceiver Native PHY IP
generates a MIF, _reconfig_parameters.mif. This file contains the
attribute values required for reconfiguration in a data format.
Table 2-35: Configuration Profiles
Parameter Value Description
Enable
multiple
reconfigura‐
tion profiles
On/Off When enabled, you can use the GUI to store multiple configurations. This
information is used by Quartus to include the necessary timing arcs for all
configurations during timing driven compilation. The Native PHY generates
reconfiguration files for all of the stored profiles. The Native PHY also checks
your multiple reconfiguration profiles for consistency to ensure you can
reconfigure between them. Among other things this checks that you have exposed
the same ports for each configuration.

Enable
embedded
reconfigura‐
tion streamer
On/Off Enables the embedded reconfiguration streamer, which automates the dynamic
reconfiguration process between multiple predefined configuration profiles. This
is optional and increases logic utilization. The PHY includes all of the logic and
data necessary to dynamically reconfigure between pre-configured profiles.
Generate
reduced
reconfigura‐
tion files
On/Off When enabled, The Native PHY generates reconfiguration report files containing
only the attributes or RAM data that are different between the multiple
configured profiles. The reconfiguration time decreases with the use of
reduced .mif files.
Number of
reconfigura‐
tion profiles
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 Specifies the number of reconfiguration profiles to support when multiple
reconfiguration profiles are enabled.
Selected
reconfigura‐
tion profile
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 Selects which reconfiguration profile to store/load/clear/refresh, when clicking
the relevant button for the selected profile..
Store configu‐
ration to
selected
profile
- Clicking this button saves or stores the current Native PHY parameter settings to
the profile specified by the “Selected reconfiguration profile” parameter.
Load configu‐
ration from
selected
profile
- Clicking this button loads the current Native PHY with parameter settings from
the stored profile specified by the “Selected reconfiguration profile” parameter.
Clear selected
profile
- Clicking this button clears or erases the stored Native PHY parameter settings for
the profile specified by the “Selected reconfiguration profile” parameter. An
empty profile will default to the current parameter settings of the Native PHY.
