SDI II IP Core Component Files
Table 3-3: Generated Files
Table below describes the generated files and other files that might be in your project directory. The names and
types of files vary depending on whether you create your design with VHDL or Verilog HDL.
Extension Description
<variation name> .v or .sv An IP core variation file, which defines a Verilog HDL description of the
custom IP core. Instantiate the entity defined by this file inside your design.
Include this file when compiling your design in the Quartus II software.
<variation name> .sdc Contains timing constraints for your SDI variation.
<variation name> .qip Contains Quartus II project information for your IP core variations.
<variation name> .tcl Tcl script file to run in Quartus II software.
Design Examples
Each design example provided with the SDI II IP core is synthesizable.
Design Examples for Arria 10 Devices
The figure below illustrates the generated design example entity and simulation testbench for Arria 10
devices. This design example consists of two SDI channels, a video pattern generator, a reconfiguration
controller, and a loopback path.
The IP core configures the device under test (DUT) block according to your parameterization. For
example, if you choose to generate an SDI RX, the software instantiates an SDI TX block to serve as a
video source.
The loopback block (SDI duplex) is always instantiated in the design example for parallel loopback
demonstrations.
The PHY adapter in the generated example design is not included in the figure below so that you can
observe how the signals are physically connected without the adapter. You may bypass the adapter in your
own design to make the design simpler.
For Arria 10 devices, the transceiver is no longer wrapped inside the IP core, and the TX PLL is no longer
wrapped inside the Transceiver PHY. You must generate these blocks separately in the example design.
