To better manage GTs, the I/O planning windows group the two related I/O diff pairs and the GT logic object automatically during selection, placement, and moving. The GT objects are selected as one object and move together, which prohibits illegal assignment of the GT resources.
If the interactive DRCs are enabled, the noise sensitive I/O pins surrounding the GTXs are prohibited automatically during port placement. For more information, see Enabling or Disabling Interactive DRCs.
For information about transceiver placement rules, see the following, depending on
your device.
Tip: When placing gigabit ports for 7 series, UltraScale, and UltraScale+, place them sequentially by
right-clicking the ports that need to be placed, selecting Place I/O Sequentially,
and then moving the mouse over the ports in the Package window.
Recommended:
Xilinx recommends that you begin pin
planning for gigabit transceivers at IP customization. If you are using IP
integrator, begin pin planning at that time.
