6535 - All Nexus/MPCS: How to solve the mismatch in received data under MPCS EPCS-bypassed mode?
Description:
The issue may be due to misaligned data.
It should be noted that EPCS-bypassed mode does not have any word alignment capability.
However, there is a workaround by using epcs_skipbit_i input signal to correct the data alignment at the receiving end.

With the same reference clock frequency, if the SERDES is configured to half-data-rate mode, the SERDES data rate is only half of the data rate supported in the full-data-rate mode. It is useful when different rates are used for different channels in ...
