| Added parameter to select preset for Phase2 and Phase3 far-end TX equalization.  |  
      Better control of signal quality. |  
     
 
      
      | For the Avalon-MM with DMA interface, increased the maximum DMA transfer size to 1 megabyte (MB) for both the 128- and 256-bit interfaces.  |  
      Reduces the number of descriptors required to transfer data.  |  
     
 
      
      | For the Single-Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) interface, changed support for the 128-bit interface from preliminary to final.  |  
      You can use the 128-bit interface in production designs.  |  
     
 
      
      | For the SR-IOV interface, added licensing requirement.  |  
      You must purchase a license to use this variant in hardware.  |  
     
 
      
      | For the SR-IOV interface, added Intel FPGA IP Evaluation Mode support.  |  
      Allows you to generate time-limited device programming files for the SR-IOV interface.  |
