The F-Tile Low Latency 100G Ethernet testbench is self-contained and does not require you to drive any input signals.
| Signal | Direction | Comments | 
|---|---|---|
| clk100 | Input |   Drive at 100 MHz. The intent is to drive this input from a 100 MHz oscillator on the board.  |  
      
| clk_ref | Input |   Drive at 156.625 MHz (default), 312.5 MHz, and 322.265625 MHz.  |  
      
| tx_serial[3:0] | Output | Transceiver PHY output serial data. | 
| rx_serial[3:0] | Input | Transceiver PHY input serial data. | 
| qsfp_rstn | Output | Drive to 1'b0. | 
| qsfp_lowpwr | Output | Drive to 1'b1. |
