12. Click Finish.
13. The Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller is added to your Qsys system.
f For more information about the Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller, refer to the
Transceiver Reconfiguration Controller chapter in the Altera Transceiver PHY IP Core User
Guide.
Completing the Connections in Qsys
In Qsys, hovering the mouse over the Connections column displays the potential
connection points between components, represented as dots on connecting wires. A
filled dot shows that a connection is made; an open dot shows a potential connection
point. Clicking a dot toggles the connection status. If you make a mistake, you can
select Undo from the Edit menu or type
Ctrl-z
.
By default, Qsys filters some interface types to simplify the image shown on the
System Contents tab. Complete these steps to display all interface types:
1. Click the Filter tool bar button.
2. In the Filter list, select All interfaces.
3. Close the Filters dialog box.
To complete the design, create the following connections:
1. Connect the pcie_sv_hip_avmm_0
Rxm_BAR0
Avalon Memory-Mapped Master port
to the onchip_memory2_0
s1
Avalon Memory-Mapped slave port using the
following procedure:
a. Click the
Rxm_BAR0
port, then hover in the Connections column to display
possible connections.
b. Click the open dot at the intersection of the
onchip_mem2_0
s1
port and the
pci_express_compiler
Rxm_BAR0
to create a connection.
2. Repeat step 1 to make the connections listed in Table 3–11.
