AFE7950EVM: How to configure AFE7950EVM to receive only and transmit only mode?

Part Number: AFE7950EVM

Tool/software:

Hi,

I am working on the Intel AFE7950EVM  and Intel FPGA for which i would like to test the setup in simplex mode (either as transmitter or reciever). How should I modify the Latte code in order to perform this?

Additionally i would like to know whether there is any testing technique to observe the SYSREF coming AFE?

Thank you

  • Hi Vandana,

    In latte you can set the rx and tx enable parameters below in the script before the “AFE.deviceBringup()” function to achieve this.

    sysParams.rxEnable = [True, True,True, True] #[RX1,RX2,RX3,RX4] True = enable; False = disable

    sysParams.txEnable = [True,True, True,True] #[TX1,TX2,TX3,TX4]

    Examples of how this is used can be seen in the “S7_OnboardClk_42220.py” script.

    Please let me know if this solves your query.

    Best,

    Camilo
