C6670 EVM AMC to SMA breakout card for core -core external loopback

Hari..

Hi,

I am looking for an AMC to SMA connector that is described in the SRIO_Benchmarking_Example_Code_Guide document.

I am trying to execute the SRIO core to core using external loopback example on single EVM6670 LE. I tried looping back externally by soldering the wires from Tx to Rx on AMC. But I am getting port not operational errors. Is there anything else I need to do here ?

If not, Where can I get the AMC to SMA breakout card that is exactly used in Core-core external loopback example? I am looking for a less expensive one. I looked into some previous posts on this but some links to the BOC are expired. I am looking for the exact BOC used in the Benchmarking example.

Thanks

Hari

Hello Hari,

You can get an AMC-to-SMA breakout card from silicontkx. It would be something similar to:

silicontkx.com/SMA-AMCULTRA9000.html

You could refer the below thread for more details about this AMC-to-SMA card.

I contacted the silicontkx people for the EVM AMC to SMA breakout card. They have standard breakout card with all the SMA connectors and low cost depopulated one which is still expensive. So I got a AMC-AMC mating connector and soldered the SRIO TX lanes to RX lanes on the connector for loopback. This worked for me and way cheaper than the breakout card.
