9.8.2 DRC Rules

The I/O Editor enforces the following list of common Design Rules Check (DRC) rules:

  • All I/Os of the same logical lane must be placed within the same physical lane.
  • For any one physical lane, only one logical lane is allowed to be placed.
  • Non-logical lane I/Os can be placed in any physical lane.
  • For RGMII Interface, the *_RXC port must be placed on the CLKIN_S_* side of the physical lane.
  • When the CDR is placed in a physical lane, the DQS_N slot is reserved and is not available for I/O placement.

For more information on DRC rules for the IOD I/O placement, see the PolarFire FPGA and PolarFire SoC FPGA User I/O User Guide.
