Using the Ethernet SGMII Interface

You use the Efinity Interface Designer to implement an Ethernet SGMII block and configure it. The CMN_REFCLK0 pin is a dedicated package pin.

Tip: The Ethernet SGMII interface is complicated. If you find yourself turning a lot of options on and off to enable or disable features, some of the GUI menus might get out of sync. Therefore, Efinix suggests that you note the settings you want, and then start fresh with a newly created SGMII block with only the settings you want.
