about unused GXB_RX pins

hello:

I noticed that PCG mentioned that all unused GXB RX and REFCLK pins should connect to GND. Due to design negligence, these pins are not grounded. Will this lead to any severe consequences?

    Hi,


    No, you will be fine, it's just general good practice. It is no different to our Dev Kit RX pins being routed to connectors that have no source. there has never been a problem.


    Thank you,
