The IBERT core can be defined and generated using the Vivado built-in IP Cores. And with the generated example designs the IBERT Test can be implemented.

Step to Step to generate the IBERT core:

  1. Create a new IP Location.


  2. Double-click IBERT 7 series GTP (or GTX).


  3. Define the new IBERT. Set the LineRate, select the DataWidth,  the Quad count, select the  the Refclk and the Clock Source.






  4. Generate the Core.




  5.  Right-click the IP in the Sources view, choose "Open IP Example Design".  



  6. A new project with the IBERT example design will be created and opened.



  7. Generate Bitstream. Open and view the completed design.
