For Versal Adaptive SoC Designs - 7.2 English - PG138

1. Create a new block design.
2. Place the AXI Ethernet Subsystem IP in the block design.
3. Run block automation. A pop-up window appears, as shown in the following figure.

The Physical Interface Selection contains the GT-based configurations: that is, the SGMII, 1000BaseX, and Both options. The Datapath Interface Connections default to “Auto” but the dropdown has the option to select the GT Quad Base connection. In order to connect to a specific lane of an existing GT Quad, first add the AXI Ethernet IP and GT Quad Base IP in the block design, then run the Block Automation with "Customized_Connections" option from the Datapath Interface Connection drop-down as shown in the previous figure. The availability of GT Quads and Lanes is subject to GT resource sharing rules.

For example, in the following figure, the selected physical interface is SGMII, and the Datapath interface connections is Auto:
