• Swapped Lane order. The transmitter sends Interlaken blocks sequentially across the lanes starting

with Lane 0, ending with Lane N. The receiver takes in Interlaken blocks starting with Lane 0, ending

with Lane N.

Two parameters determine lane order:

SWAP_TX_LANES

SWAP_RX_LANES

When a parameter is set to 0, the 50G Interlaken IP core implements the Straight Lane order. When a

parameter is set to 1, the 50G Interlaken IP core implements the Swapped Lane order. The TX and RX

parameters are independent and can be set separately.
To conform with the Interlaken specification, the default value of

SWAP_TX_LANES

and

SWAP_RX_LANES

is

1.
Note: Running traffic with incompatible lane swapping configuration results in CRC24 errors and

incorrect data at the receiver.
