You can customize the GUI based on the following options:

Ref Clk (MHz)
This selection varies based on the chosen DRAM. The default Ref Clk for the zcu106 evaluation board is 125 MHz. For the zcu104 evaluation board, it is 300 MHz.
Choose RAM
You can select from "BRAM" or "URAM + BRAM". Note that for 4EV and 5EV devices, the "URAM + BRAM" option is not valid. For 7EV devices, you should be aware that additional IPs in the design can consume URAMs and may result in a overutilization of URAMs in the 7EV device.
DRAM bus width selection
This selection can be x8 (zcu104 evaluation board) or x16 (zcu106 evaluation board).
DRAM speed bin selection
2133 and 2400 for x8 selection. 2400 and 2667 for x16 selection.

The port priority is fixed in the 2018.3 release. Five ports are enabled in the IP. The high priority ports need to be connected to a decoder/display interface. The low priority ports need to be connected to a PS, Micro Controller Unit (MCU) interface.
