Course Description
This course will instruct you in how to configure the high-speed PHY layer found in Cyclone® IV, Arria II®, Stratix IV and HardCopy® IV devices for a custom protocol implementation.You will learn the signals available to enable data transfers at rates up to and over 10 Gbps. You will learn how to use the Quartus II software version 10.1 to configure the transceivers and generate design logic to hook up to your own higher layer functional blocks. If you choose, you may download exercise instructions to practice developing and verifying a custom protocol solution.
For designs targeting Cyclone V, Arria V and Stratix V devices, please see the online training Custom Protocol Design in Altera 28-nm Devices.
