5.2 Implementation of the Receive System
The earlier Receive System developed by Xilinx had very limited features. When the
transmit pattern was transmitted to the DUT, a trigger signal was sent to the Lecroy SDA
6000 (DSO) to capture the 4-channel XAUI signaling from the DUT single-endedly.
There were two types of trigger signals: Trigger on Zap and Trigger on Frames. Trigger
on Zap is a trigger signal from the test system user. The trigger signal is sent via GPIO
from the PowerPC to capture the data. The Trigger on Frames signal would trigger the
DSO whenever it saw a start character on the received data.
In the new Receive system the features like channel bonding, Inter Frame Gap (IFG)
calculation, and on-board Logic Analyzer were implemented. Each of these modules is
