The Wizard is located in the CORE Generator tool. The user is recommendedto download the most up-to-date IP update before using the Wizard. Details on how to use thisWizard can be found in PG168, 7 Series FPGAs Transceivers Wizard LogiCORE IP Product Guide.Follow these steps to launch the Wizard:1. Start the CORE Generator tool.2. Locate the 7 Series FPGAs Transceivers Wizard in the taxonomy tree under:/FPGA Features & Design/IO InterfacesSee Figure 1-4.3. Double-click 7 Series FPGAs Transceivers Wizard to launch the Wizard.SimulationFunctional DescriptionSimulations using the GTPE2_CHANNEL and GTPE2_COMMON primitives have specificprerequisites that the simulation environment and the test bench must fulfill. For instructions on howto set up the simulation environment for supported simulators depending on the used hardwaredescription language (HDL), see the latest version of UG626, Synthesis and Simulation DesignGuide.The prerequisites for simulating a design with the GTPE2_CHANNEL and GTPE2_COMMONprimitives are:• A simulator with support for SecureIP models.X-Ref Target - Figure 1-4Figure 1-4: 7 Series FPGAs Transceivers WizardUG482_c1_04_110911Send Feedback
