1.3.4.4. Plan the Transceiver PHY Interface

Follow these steps to identify legal locations and place FPGA_GX_BLK.
  1. In the Design Elements list, expand the TXCVR_TOP_I0 block to find the xcvr_native_s10_htile_0 transceiver PHY design element. The design example FPGA_TOP.vhd file specifies to use the left and right sides of the device.
  2. Click the >> button next to the xcvr_native_s10_htile_0 design element to display Legal Locations. Interface Planner shows more than 10 legal locations for the left and right sides of the device.
  3. To automatically place the elements in a legal location, right-click the xcvr_native_s10_htile_0 and click Autoplace Selected. This placement then assigns this GX_BLK to a fixed location on the left and right sides of the device.
