GTs provide several protocols for high-speed interfaces, such as Ethernet and Aurora IP. Versal ACAP features the XPIPE mechanism to connect the PCIe block to the GT at high speed. XPIPE and GTs are shared between PL-based IP and PS-based IP (e.g., CPM, Ethernet, Aurora link for debug, etc.). For Versal ACAP, GT components are updated from Common/Channel to a quad granularity. For more information on the GT, see the Versal ACAP GTY and GTYP Transceivers Architecture Manual (AM002).
