Experience

QSFP Module

A module within an FPGA platform specifically designed to connect with an external Ethernet module.

The QSFP controller within the QDFP module facilitates communication with the connected module and retrieves data. To handle data transfer, AXI Stream was used as the data lane protocol and AXI Slave Interfaces for register mapping. The I2C communication protocol was used for connecting with external modules.

In the design process, the Design Compiler tool was used to synthesize code, and the Altera Quartus software was utilized for validation on the FPGA platform. Finally, Spyglass was used for linting and CDC analysis.
