For PL PCIe blocks the most adjacent GTs should be used and connected to the PCIe solution IP where possible. The PL PCIe block supports x1, x2, x4, x8, and x16 link widths. This will provide the best place, route and timing result for the PCIe solution.

For GTs on the left side of the device, PCIe lane 0 is placed in the bottom-most GT of the bottom-most GT Quad. Subsequent lanes use the next available GTs moving vertically up the device as the lane number increments. This means that the highest PCIe lane number uses the top-most GT in the top-most GT Quad that is used for PCIe.
