CoreSmartBERT

The CoreSmartBERT core provides a broad-based evaluation and demonstration platform for PolarFire® and PolarFire SoC transceivers. CoreSmartBERT is configurable to use different transceivers, clocking topologies, line rates, and reference clock rates. Data pattern generators and checkers are included for each transceiver, giving several different Pseudo Random Binary Sequences (PRBS) (2⁷ , 2⁹ , 2²³, and 2³¹). The purpose of this IP core is to add more test features for the transceiver, so that the end user can evaluate the Physical Media Attachment (PMA) functionality of transceiver on a board.
