3.5. MIPI D-PHY Placement Rules

When implementing a MIPI D-PHY design, you must follow the placement rules. Some I/O pins cannot be implemented as single-ended pins.

Example: For a MIPI D-PHY design with 4 data lanes and 1 clock lane on byte location 1, you cannot implement the I/O pin with pin index 5,10, 23 and 26 as single ended pins. Except for MIPI D-PHY RX link designs with Rx Equalization set to EQ SML, EQ MED or EQ LRG starting in Quartus version 25.1.1.

For general purpose I/O placement guidelines, follow the I/O placement restrictions in the Agilex™ 5 General-Purpose I/O User Guide.
