ZCU106 SFP+ Testing: Looking for TRD

[joe306]

Hello, I am using the ZCU106 Evaluation Board and would like to test out the SFP+ interfaces. I have two Fiber Optic Transceivers that I can plug into the connectors. I was told they may be a Technical Reference Document that may already have a working design to test out the SFP+ interface. Perhaps there is a working loopback test out there that I can use. 

If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,

Joe

Hi @joe306,

There's a reference design for the ZCU102 SFP in the xapp1305/xapp1306 which should help you in your design.
