7 years agoHi Matthias,
As I understand it, you observe some Fitter error during your compilation with CV XCVR design. As I check the CV part that you are using, there are total of 6 XCVR channels. By default, you should be able to implement maximum of 5 duplex XCVR with one channel reserved for CMU PLL. Would you mind to share a simple test design with Native PHY which could replicate the error observation so that I could further look into it?
Thank you.

7 years agoThank you for your answer, attached is a simple test design.
I believe it might be related to my pin planning/placing, maybe you point out what went wrong.
