Solution


The recommended pin locations in the User Guides are the ones tested by Xilinx. Those are the supported pin locations and it is guaranteed to work for out of the box example design implementation with the core.Other pin locations might work as well, but they have not beentested.If you elect to useother pin-outsnot provided in the User Guides,you must verify that timing is met and functionality is intact.
