Hello MOHIT,
We do not support the VC709. This is a Xilinx product supported by Xilinx at this forum

In the meantime, I can offer that since your system seems to work with IBERT, you probably have not chosen a protocol. If you are trying to run IIC over your SFP link, you will need to add a protocol to your link. Something like Aurora might be helpful.

This is a simple protocol you can implement and do a point to point connection between two devices. Typically you would setup data members to hold your information to be processed. You will need to write this. Data members could be registers contained inside the FPGA, or whatever memory you wish to implement.
