The PIPE is configured in Gen1/Gen2 during Power Up. Gen3 PCS is configured for 8 Gbps.

41 Refer to Native PHY IP Ports for PIPE for bit settings when simplified data interface is enabled.
42 Setting this parameter is placement-dependent. In AUTO mode, the Native PHY IP Parameter Editor selects the middle-most channel of the configuration as the default PCS TX channel bonding master. You must ensure that this selected channel is physically placed as Ch1 or Ch4 of the transceiver bank. Else, use the manual selection for the PCS TX channel bonding master to select a channel that can be physically placed as Ch1 or Ch4 of the transceiver bank. Refer to section How to place channels for PIPE configurations for more details.
43 The PIPE is configured in Gen1/Gen2 during Power Up. Gen3 PCS is configured for PCS/PMA width of 32.
