Configuring the transceiver to work at a double byte configuration

Hello, 

 

My design - targeted for an Arria V GX FPGA requires an 8b/10b encoded single lane transceiver operating at 1.868 GHz. 

I decided to use the Native Tranciever Phy for this purpose:

On the Tx side I'd like to send 2 bytes per a 93.44 MHz clock. 

The document in the above link mentions that tx_parallel_data is 44 bits wide. 

At page# 272 table 10-13 describes a possible double byte configuration that would allow me to achieve the desired configuration. 

It's called: "Double word data bus, byte serializer disabled". 

 

Unfortunately, I can't find a way to configure the core to use this configuration...
