This branch is a fix from Javier Sastre for a problem with the Ethernet connection in the VCU118 SGMII design.
Description of the symptoms:
Just when the board is programmed, FPGA starts PHY configuration and I’m able to ping the board, but just only for a few seconds. Then, I lose link and I have to reset the board.
Description of the fix:
The constraints file boards/vcu118/sgmii/synth/firmware/ucf/eth.tcl includes the activation of the differential termination of sgmii_rx. However, sgmii_clk diff pair is not terminated. Just after PHY configuration, this one starts sending the clk to the fpga. Because this line is not terminated, this induces reflections that degrade the clock until losing connection.
I’ve included the following lines and I’ve got an stable connection:
