IS1 S-FPDP

This course covers Serial-FPFP (VITA 17)

Objectives
bullet_jaune_1 The course details the hardware implementation of S-FPDP and clarifies the operation of 8b10b encoder/decoder.
bullet_jaune_1 Transfer sequences captured with the Absolut-Analysis equipment are studied to explain the frame formats and the flow control mechanism.
bullet_jaune_1 The course describes the parameterizing of the Xilinx S-FPDP IP based on Multi Gigabit transceiver integrated in Virtex FPGAs.
A more detailed course description is available on request at info@ac6-training.com
Prerequisites
bullet_jaune_2 Basic knowledge on serial buses.
