Honored ContributorHi,
The GMII and RGMII interfaces don't use LVDS. They are single ended and use much lower frequencies on a parrallel bus. They will use LVCMOS bus: TMS320C6472/TMS320TCI6486 for GMII TLK2226 for RGMII Interface.( For sample only). But in the case of DDIO(needs to clock data in/out on both clock edges), It wont support LVDS. T&R Suresha
