AgendaWhat is a communication channel ?Our projects goalsWork environmentDevelopment – High level architectureDevelopment – Testing EvironmentGantt ChartQuestions

Communication ChannelA channel is used to convey an information

signal, for example a digital bit stream, from one or several senders (or transmitters) to one or several receivers.

Com. Channels are everywhere.

Two important parameters: speed bandwidth

What is the final Goal ?

Two stages:1. Building the physical layer (first semester)o Reaching a point we can send and receive data

2. Implements Ethernet protocol (second semester)

“Building a high speed communication channel - 40Gbit”

Work EnvironmentHardware side:Virtex-6 FPGA ML605 Evaluation Kit – the

Work Environment

Work EnvironmentA Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) is a pair of

functional blocks commonly used in high speed communications to compensate for limited input/output. These blocks convert data between serial data and parallel interfaces in each direction.

One By One

Aurora

Aurora takes a data packet (Bit stream) and divide it into several synchronized parallel channels.

Aurora is a block in the ISE library.

This is one of the most important parts of our project.
