To run block automation for Versal Adaptive SoC designs, perform the following steps.
- Create a new block design.
- Place the AXI Ethernet Subsystem IP in the block design.
- Configure the Axi Ethernet Subsystem IP and enable the Use Legacy GT Wizard In Example Design option in the IP GUI.
- 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. Connect AXI4-Stream Interface to Default "DMA" or dropdown option "FIFO". The Datapath Interface Connections default to “Auto” but the dropdown has the option: Start_With_new_Quad and Customized_Connections 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.
