3.9.3. Selecting Channel Bonding Schemes

In Cyclone® 10 GX devices, select PMA and PCS bonding for bonded protocols that are explicitly supported by the hard PCS blocks. For example, PCI-Express and SFI-S.

Select PMA-only bonding when a bonded protocol is not explicitly supported by the hard PCS blocks. For example, for Interlaken protocol, PMA-only bonding is used and a soft PCS bonding IP is implemented in the FPGA fabric.
