Why is the reference clock frequency set incorrectly when I update the Hard IP for PCI Express?

Environment

    Quartus® II Subscription Edition
BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description Due to a bug when you change the reference clock frequency for an existing IP Compiler for PCI Express® (PCIe), the new reference clock frequency is not updated in the transceiver used by the PCIe IP core.
Resolution

To work around this issue, follow these steps to change the reference clock for an existing PCIe IP variant.

1. Delete the serdes variant (<variant>_serdes.v).
2. Update the reference clock in the MegaWizard Plug-in Manager.
3. Regenerate the PCIe variant.
