Folks I have a few questions on the 1GB Ethernet block:
1. I assume the block connects to one of the CX4 ports on the ROACH 1 board. Is this true?] 2. What is the data format on the CX4 port? Is it 8b/10b encoding? 3. Can I make a simple board to simply wire the CX4 pins into a cat5 connector and connect to a PC? Or do I have to make voltage level changes and change the encoding scheme? Tim Madden Argonne Lab
