Microchip FPGA: Are there any recommendations for internal VREF or external VREF when using DDR with PolarFire?

IP Libero SoC PolarFire

PolarFire recommends internal VREF.
For more information, please refer to the PolarFire Family Memory Controller User Guide.
The PolarFire Family Memory Controller User Guide can be found under the User Guides tab in the Documentation section.

Quote "Note: If VREF is not specified, the internal VREF is used. When external VREF is used, any I/O pin
available on the same bank can be selected as VREF using the I/O Editor. If the DDR Subsystem uses
two banks, two external VREF pins are required (one per each bank). Microchip recommends using
the internal VREF.
