7.3.2. Single RX and TX Simple Merge

A Simple RX and TX merge is where the RX and TX channels align on the same transceivers. Note that channel 0 of the RX PHY must correspond with channel 0 of the TX PHY, as must channel 1 and channel 2. Channel 3 of the TX PHY stands alone.

The physical location constraints (i.e. pins) must also correspond to this. In addition the XCVR_RECONFIG_GROUP constraints must be set in the projects .qsf file (or in the assignment editor, for example:

set_instance_assignment -name XCVR_RECONFIG_GROUP 2 -to hdmi_rx [2]
set_instance_assignment -name XCVR_RECONFIG_GROUP 2 -to hdmi_tx [2]
set_instance_assignment -name XCVR_RECONFIG_GROUP 1 -to hdmi_rx [1]
set_instance_assignment -name XCVR_RECONFIG_GROUP 1 -to hdmi_tx [1]
set_instance_assignment -name XCVR_RECONFIG_GROUP 0 -to hdmi_rx [0]
set_instance_assignment -name XCVR_RECONFIG_GROUP 0 -to hdmi_tx [0]

Note that the HDMI data can be corrected to match board layout using the Layout Options of the RX and TX PHYs.
