    1212'''Important Details'''
    13  * The xps_ll_temac pcore has two ports for LocalLink clocks (LlinkTemac0_CLK and LlinkTemac1_CLK). These must be connected to the same clock signal which drives the SPLB_CLK ports on the corresponding xps_ll_fifo pcores. These signals are not connected automatically when you connect the LocalLink bus interfaces on the TEMAC and FIFO.
    14  * The TEMAC PHY type must be set to 1000Base-T (C_PHY_TYPE = 5). The other MGT-compatible PHY type (SGMII) didn't work with our SFP Ethernet modules.
    15  * The DCLK port on the xps_ll_temac core should be connected to a clock signal with frequency between 25 and 50MHz. It's unclear whether this signal is absolutely required for 1000Base-T modes (the Xilinx documentation is frustratingly vague), but our designs worked fine with a 40MHz DCLK.
     13 * The `xps_ll_temac` pcore has two ports for LocalLink clocks (`LlinkTemac0_CLK` and `LlinkTemac1_CLK`). These must be connected to the same clock signal which drives the `SPLB_CLK` ports on the corresponding `xps_ll_fifo` pcores. These signals are not connected automatically when you connect the LocalLink bus interfaces on the TEMAC and FIFO.
