User Guide
3. Parameter Settings
You customize the RapidIO II IP core by specifying parameters in the RapidIO II
parameter editor, which you access from the MegaWizard Plug-In Manager or the
Qsys system integration tool in the Quartus II software.
This chapter describes the parameters and how they affect the behavior of the IP core.
Each section corresponds to a tab in the RapidIO II parameter editor.
In the RapidIO II parameter editor, you use the following tabs to parameterize the
RapidIO II IP core:
■ Physical Layer
■ Transport Layer
■ Logical Layer
■ Capability Registers
■ Command and Status Registers
■ Error Management Registers
Physical Layer Settings
The Physical layer includes RapidIO II specific logic configuration and transceiver
configuration.
The RapidIO II IP core instantiates a Native PHY IP core to configure the transceivers.
The RapidIO II IP core provides no parameters to modify this configuration directly.
Altera recommends you do not modify the default transceiver settings configured in
the Native PHY IP core instance generated with the RapidIO II IP core.
f For information about the transceiver block, refer to Volume 3: Transceivers of the
Arria V Device Handbook, to Volume 2: Transceivers of the Cyclone V Device Handbook, or
to Volume 3: Transceivers of the Stratix V Device Handbook. For information about the
Native PHY IP core, refer to the Altera Transceiver PHY IP Core User Guide .
The Physical Layer parameters define the following characteristics of the Physical
layer:
■ Supported modes
■ Maximum baud rate
■ Reference clock frequency
■ Enable transceiver dynamic reconfiguration (Arria 10 variations only)
