For the GTS SDI IP Design Example.

Design Limitations

The GTS SDI II IP Design Example has the following limitation:

The device package with a single quad example for Agilex™ 3 devices supports only serial-loopback design, because of a limitation on the number of reference transceiver clocks in the transceiver bank. For VCXO and VCXO-less designs, three reference clocks are required.
