Overview In this tutorial we will create a peripheral containing the Aurora core to implement a high speed serial transceiver with a RocketIO MGT. It will be an improved version of the Aurora transceiver developed in the tutorial titled Create an Aurora Transceiver. The improvement is achieved by connecting the peripheral to the PLB rather than the OPB, which allows much faster data transfer by virtue of a wider bus and Direct Memory Access capability.

Overview In this tutorial we will create a peripheral containing the Aurora core to implement a high speed serial transceiver with a RocketIO MGT. The peripheral can be used to connect two XUPV2P boards using the SATA connectors and transfer data between them at 1.5Gbps. To test the design using only one XUPV2P board, we will instantiate two Aurora peripherals, assign them to different RocketIO MGTs and place a SATA cable between them to create a loop-back connection.
