ML631 IBERT Overview
Description
–The LogiCORE Integrated Bit Error Ratio (IBERT) core is used to create a
pattern generation and verification design to exercise the Virtex-6 GTH and
GTX transceivers. A graphical user interface is provided through the IBERT
console window of the ChipScope Pro Analyzer

Setup for the ML631 IBERT Designs
Unzip the ML631 IBERT Design Files (13.3 C) to your C:\ drive
–Available through http://www.xilinx.com/ml631
Note: Presentation applies to the ML631

Setup for the ML631 IBERT Designs
Important: Set the power switch, SW1, to OFF first
The ML631 uses two power supplies; connect both power supplies
–Use a power strip to turn on both power supplies simultaneously
Only after the two power supplies are on, turn on the power switch
