Hi, For extraxting data from a 576Mbps serial datastream (subLVDS) with a DDR clock of 288MHz I would like to use the transceiver inputs of the Cyclone V. Can I do this easily? Can I use the tr...

I am trying to use subLVDS I/O on the SOC cyclone dev kit.

I am not getting sensible data from the camera as yet when I use bank 8A for the subLVDS data and clk inputs.
