Please comment out the following because the design of the top layer of the design still has the port that was in the past version E-Tile nativePHY.

.rsfec_avmm2_avmmread_in ( ), // input, width = 1, RSFEC_avmm2.read .rsfec_avmm2_avmmrequest_in ( ), // input, width = 1, .waitrequest .rsfec_avmm2_avmmwrite_in ( ), // input, width = 1, .write

Regarding the IO Standard of pll_refclk0 and pll_refclk1, compilation was passed even with LVDS in the past version, but if it does not pass depending on the version, please change to Differential LVPECL.
