If your design contains the altgxb megafunction, you must set the value of the pll_areset signal to start high in the test bench or waveform file for the design. If the megafunction does not instantiate a GXB transmitter PLL, you must set the values of the rxanalogreset and rxdigitalreset signals to start high.
If your design contains the alt2gxb megafunction, Altera recommends that you set the value of the gxb_powerdown signal to start high in the test bench or waveform file for the design. If the instantiated alt2gxb megafunction does not use gxb_powerdown signal, Altera requires that you set the values of the txdigitalreset, rxanalogreset, and rxdigitalreset signals to start high. Assert txdigitalreset long enough so that it can be registered by tx_clkout and assert rxdigitalreset a few clock cycles longer than rxanalogreset so that it can be registered by rx_clkout. Altera requires that you apply the same reset sequence mentioned above after dynamic channel reconfiguration.
