There are boards (e.g. AD4630-24) which take the SCLK and echo back to
the FPGA through a level shifter - doing this removes the effect of
round-trip timing delays from the level shifter. This is commonly done
whenever isolators are used since they are very slow.
By setting the ECHO_SCLK parameter to 1, the IP will use the incoming
echoed SCLK clock to latch the SDI line(s). The sdi_data_valid is still
synchronous to the SPI clock, and it's generated after the last valid
SDI latch.
The designer's responsibility is to time the SDI shift registers in order to
respect the design requirements.
In most of the standalone projects the generic project creation flow is not followed. The project's device
is defined manualy. This fix makes sure that those projects still builds without an issue.
NOTE: In these case we should use adi_project_create directly in system_project.tcl.
Without defining this signal, the UART lines receive garbage data
when no cable is connected to the J4 USB UART port.
The GPIO9 is enabled in the reference base design along with the
4MA CURRENT_STRENGTH constraint on the UART pins
When phase alignment is active, the PFD frequency value should be used
as outclk1 actual frequency.
The configuration interface of the fPLL does not support fractional values.
If the reference clock is fractional, the tool will throw an error that requirement
above is not respected.
Round up the reference clock for the SERDES and the lane rate in order to
overcome this issue, until it's not fixed by Intel.

The new REG_PRBS_CNTRL and REG_PRBS_STATUS registers expose controls of internal
PRBS generators and checkers allowing the testing the multi-gigabit serial link
at the physical layer without the need of the link layer bringup.
