Important: The
design must meet the following rules when connecting the ILKNF hard IP core to the
transceivers:
- GTs have to be contiguous.
- ILKNF should use contiguous GTYs from the same GTYE5_QUAD. Likewise, use contiguous GTYPs from the same GTYP_QUAD, and similarly, use contiguous GTMs from the same GTME5_QUAD.
Note: ILKNF and GTYE5_QUAD/GTYP_QUAD/GTME5_QUAD placed in horizontally
opposite locations are not recommended. However, for extreme cases, you can try to use
them by adding pipeline registers between ILKNF and GTY/GTYP/GTM to ease the
timing.
