1567 - In LatticeECP3, is it possible to change the serdes mode from 8b/10b to 10b serdes mode via the SCI on the fly when the data rates are same for both mode?
If all control registers bits setting are correct for both modes, it will work. To get the control registers bit setting information for each mode, you can use ORCAstra. You will have to apply reset after changing the mode.

In a LatticeECP2M design, you can re-program the PCS for different CPRI rates using the SCI intertace without having to re-gerneate the PCS in IPexpress. In fact, this is what the current CPRI demo does (supports 3 rates via SCI register access). ...

With the same reference clock frequency, if the SERDES is configured to half-data-rate mode, the SERDES data rate is only half of the data rate supported in the full-data-rate mode. It is useful when different rates are used for different channels in ...

1179 - When using the Lattice FPGA PCS/SERDES QUADS in 10-bit Raw SERDES mode, how do I do interpret the 10-bit 8b10 encoded RX DATA?
The response applies to the LatticeECP2M/LatticeECP3/LatticeSC/M PCS/SERDES QUADS used in 10-bit RAW SERDES only mode. The assumption is that you are coding your own RTL 8b10b decoder in the fabric. Based on the definition of 8b10b codes , DATA=0x00 ...
