Hi all,
I read in Altera Transceiver Custom Phy ip Manual that there is a register at phy_mgmt_write-address 0x061. If I write 1 to this register then I can set transceiver serial loopback. So no need to externally connect wires to set serial loopback, by setting this register to 1 we can internally set serial loopback and use this technique to debug the transceiver. You can check at this link
Tranceiver internal serial loopback for debugging
Now, the tutorial above uses USB blaster cable and Quaruts 2 software Transceiver debug tool but unfortunately, I dont have USB blaster cable so is there any other way to set up this register? I tried to connect transciever to AVALON MM interface and used transciever address to write 1 to this register as shown below
#include <stdio.h>

exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}

xcvr_addr_serial_loopback = (unsigned int *) (XCVR_CUSTOM_PHY_0_BASE+serial_loopback);
*xcvr_addr_serial_loopback =1;

virtual_base=mmap(NULL,REG_SPAN,(PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE),MAP_SHARED,fd,REG_BASE);
xcvr_addr = (unsigned int *) (virtual_base+XCVR_CUSTOM_PHY_0_BASE); /*accessing base address of xcvr*/
while(1)
{
printf("pointer value is %d\n", *xcvr_addr);
}
return 0;
}
This is my transceiver header file for addresses

Here is my qsys system
Can anyone please tell me if there is any other way to access and write 1 to this address 0x061? I tried accessing it using my c program but when I execute my program, it shows me error “SEGMENTATION ERROR”.
Any help please…??
