an interop report for this board is available here : AN 905: JESD204B Intel® FPGA IP and ADI AD9213 Interoperability Report for Intel Stratix® 10 Devices (d2pgu9s4sfmw1s.cloudfront.net)

Umesh,

Thank you for the quick response.  I am not using that exact Intel Eval board outlined in AN905, but this one.

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/fpga/development-kits/stratix/10-tx-signal-integrity.html

It is very similar in its design and I am following the setup and I have a lot of the process which appears to be working.  What I am finding is that when I change the ADC into test pattern mode (custom user definite data) some of the data comes out as expected, but other patterns do not.

In my setup, I have the JESD IP block for Intel initialize and report to be that the data is aligned and the 256 bit data coming out is valid.

If I set the enable the test pattern register 0x505 to 0x2e, I can then send custom data by writing register 0x559.

Here is the basic output I receive

<Register Value 0x559> : <Output Data of JESD block (256 bits)>

There is a definite pattern here which I am trying to understand.  I still have to do the data mapping but that is secondary to understand what is going on here.  If no bits are set or all bits are set or just a single bit, 1,2,4 in binary are set, then everything is good, else there is a pattern, but a very strange one. 

So I wanted to see if somehow the above-mentioned data lanes are inverted and causing the output data to be incorrect.  I am trying to correct this inversion on the ADC side via the registers mentioned above.

Is this not possible to do from the ADC side from those registers?  

Will

Umesh,

An update.  Since the upper 8 lanes of JESD have no inversion on the eval board, I mapped the upper 8 lanes to the lower 8 lanes in the ad9213 register map and modified my FPGA image to use these lanes versus the original and rebuilt.  I was able to synchronize the JESD interface and now my test data pattern mentioned above outputs the expects all 1,2,3, etc. and not the inverted data.

I am able to proceed in my testing but if possible I would still like to understand why the per lane data inversion didn't work and what is the proper sequence to enable this functionality as it may benefit others.

Thank you,

Will

Hi Will,

Thank you for using the AD9213, and for sharing your work.

I apologize for the trouble and confusion. Registers 0x5EA and 0x5EB are not the correct registers for lane inversion.

Registers 0x5F1 Bits[7:0] and 0x5F2 Bits[7:0] are the registers to use for lane inversion. These are 2 8-bit registers. Each bit controls the inversion of one lane. A logic 0 value means no inversion; logic 1 value means invert.

Register 0x5F1 Bit[x] controls the inversion of Lane x.

For example, Register 0x5F1 Bit[0] controls the inversion of Lane 0

Register 0x5F2 Bit[x] controls the inversion of Lane [x+8]

For example, Register 0xx5F2 Bit[0] controls the inversion of Lane [8]

The new information has been submitted for the next datasheet revision.

Once again I'm sorry about the error.

Doug

Doug,

Thank you for the update.  I'm sure this will help someone in the future.  I will try these registers with my original image to verify.  As a side note, is there any place on the ADI website to get a complete list of errata for devices like the AD9213 and the AD9208? 

Will

Hi Will,

I'm sorry but I do not know of such an errata list location.

Doug

Thank you Doug.  I'll inquire with my local sales representative.
