In certain applications, the client-side GMII/MII datapath can be used as a true GMII/MII to connect externally off-device across a PCB. This external GMII/MII functionality is included in the HDL block level and is seamlessly delivered with the core by the AMD Vivado IP catalog. This extra logic required to accomplish this is described in this Appendix.

Note: AMD Virtex 7 devices support GMII at 3.3V or lower only in certain parts and packages; see the Virtex 7 device documentation. AMD Zynq 7000 SoC, AMD Kintex 7, and AMD Artix 7 devices support GMII at 3.3V or lower.
