4. RESOLVED ISSUES

  4.1 ISE
    The following issues are resolved in the indicated IP versions:
    v2.3
      - Increased the line rate to 8 Gb/s for GTX devices, -1 speed grade 
      - Updated the TX_CLK25_DIV and RX_CLK25_DIV attributes
      - CR 676640
      - Removed the BUFG in the MMCM feedback path
      - CR 673669
      - For GTX: Added modules in example design to speed up the adaption loop lock time
        and CTLE3 gain adjustment.
      - Updated Beachfront module and encrypted implementation scripts for GTZ

  4.2 Vivado

      - Updated the TX_CLK25_DIV and RX_CLK25_DIV attributes
      - CR 676640
      - Removed the BUFG in the MMCM feedback path
      - CR 673669
      - For GTX: Added modules in example design to speed up the adaption loop lock time
        and CTLE3 gain adjustment.
      - Updated Beachfront module and encrypted implementation scripts for GTZ
 
5. KNOWN ISSUES & LIMITATIONS
  - This version of the Wizard is NOT native Vivado compatible. Hence Upgrade from earlier versions
    of the IP is not supported in Vivado. To upgrade from v1.5, v1.6 or v2.1 versions, users
    can use the CORE Generator tool.
  - Timing Simulation is not supported for GTZ designs
  - A GTP wrapper cannot be implemented on Hardware to the issue given in CR 665415
  - Issues seen in simulation of  PCI Gen1/Gen2 wrappers generated for GTP transceivers
  - The Wizard generates Verilog wrappers for GTZ. VHDL is not supported.
  - For GTZ designs, the Wizard supports line rates and reference clocks shown in the GUI.
    No other values are tested or validated in hardware.
  - It is recommended that the Beachfront module generated for GTZ designs should NOT be
    modified by the user. Any edits made by the user might lead to unexpected results.
  - Please note that Vivado flow should be used for implementation of all SSIT devices
  - Please note that the protocol templates provided by the Wizard are not characterized on
    hardware
