Option Description
The fast clock (INFASTCLK) should be 4 times faster than the slow
clock (INCLK). . The serial clock phase shift should be between 45
and 135 degrees.
2. Add a GPIO block with these settings to provide the reference clock input to the PLL:
Option Description
Mode Input
Pin Name Any
Connection Type pll_clkin
GPIO Resource Assign the dedicated PLL_CLKIN pin that corresponds to the PLL
you chose.
3. Add a GPIO block with these settings:
Option Description
Mode input
Register Option register
Enable Serialization Turn on
Clock Pin Name Use the slow clock output name that corresponds to the PLL you
chose.
Serial Clock
Pin Name
Use the fast clock output name that corresponds to the PLL you
chose.
4. Repeat step 3 for each RX deserializer you want to implement.
Design Check: GPIO Messages
When you check your design, the Interface Designer applies design rules to your
configuration settings. The following tables show some of the error and warning messages
you may encounter and explains how to fix them.
bus_rule_members_consistent (error)
Message Bus <name> has mismatch properties with its members
Members of bus <name> has inconsistent shared pin/register settings with <member>:
<inconsistent_members_name>
To fix The properties you have set for the bus are inconsistent with the settings for the bus
members. Review the settings and fix any mismatches.
bus_rule_name (error)
Message Bus name is empty
Valid characters are alphanumeric characters with dash and underscore only
To fix Specify a valid bus name.
