After building the PF_XCVR, PF_TX_PLL and PF_XCVR_REF_CLK cores, the transceiver subsystem
must be connected together in the SmartDesign canvas. Typically, the REF_CLK and/or FAB_REF_CLK
outputs of the PF_XCVR_REF_CLK are connected to the respective inputs of the PF_XCVR and the
input REF_CLK of the PF_TX_PLL. LANE#_TX_PLL_REF_CLK_#, LANE#_TX_BIT_CLK_0, and
LANE#_TX_PLL_LOCK_# are included in CLKS_FROM_TXPLL_# BIF (bus interface). This connection
is required between the TXPLL and transceiver interface. The SmartDesign component must then be
generated.
