Using MGTs in FPGA designs: Why the data is organized in packets
Introduction I’ll start with a correction: Indeed, application logic transmitting data from one FPGA to another is required to organize the data in some kind of packets or frames, but there’s one exception, which I’ll discuss later on: Xillyp2p. Anyhow, let’s take it from the beginning. Multi-Gigabit Transceivers (MGTs, sometimes also referred to as RocketIO, [...]
