INTEL IP JESD204B information

Hi All,

We're currently developing a project and we need to interface our Arria10 SoC to a AD9174 through JESD204B. We are interested in using the Intel IP for the JESD204B and I have a few questions.

Out application wants to use the AD9174 in mode 9 and dual link, this means that of the 8 total lanes of the device, 4 are dedicated to one link and 4 to the other. In the current solution we are setting one link to work (using the 4 lanes) but we cannot make the other to work since the second 4 transceivers are distributed in 2 different banks (two are together with the first 4 lanes while the other 2 are in the different bank) for this reason, the fitter cannot synthesize correctly the design since there is no option to bond the clocks between the 2 pair of transceivers.

Does the JESD204B IP from Intel solves this problem?

Thanks and best regards,

Marco
