Re: Agilex™ 7 FPGA I-Series Development Kit: Rev A /w AGIB27R29B1E2VR2
Thank you Aqid! The file was not everything I was looking for, but thank you for looking. However, I managed to get the FPGA on the board to program after some sleuthing around the Internet. For everyone else and people reading this thread years later, I got the board to program in Quartus 25.1.1 with a .sof file generated via the bts_config example project included in the install package file (agilex_agib027r29a1e2vr3_fpga_nen_revb_v24.1b115_v1.0.zip) that I modified. The .qsf file supplied with the example project with the default settings will generate a .sof file that will not succeed to program. I made the following edits: **** Step 1, change device **** Change: set_global_assignment -name DEVICE AGIB027R29A1E2VR3 to: set_global_assignment -name DEVICE AGIB027R29B1E2VR2 set_global_assignment -name DEVICE_MIGRATION_LIST "AGIB027R29B1E2VR2,AGIB027R29B1E2V" **** Step 2, reintroduce deprecated settings from old example projects **** Delete the Power Management and VID settings and then follow instructions from section 3.5 (page 20) from old archived user guide to repopulate the old settings: https://web.archive.org/web/20221222195748/https://cdrdv2-public.intel.com/677252/ug-agilex-i-fpga-devl-kit-683288-677252.pdf The old user guide will instruct you to set PWRMGT_SLAVE_DEVICE_TYPE to ED8401, a deprecated chip. **** Step 3 **** Delete: set_global_assignment -name BOARD "Intel Agilex 7 FPGA I-Series Development Kit 2xR-Tile and 1xF-Tile DK-DEV-AGI027RBES" **** Step 4 **** Make sure all switches on the board are set to the factory default setting as per the Dev Kit User Guide. **** Step 5 **** Program the device. **** Trouble shooting **** If you're getting an error like this: Error(18948): Error message received from device: Bitstream error. (Subcode 0x0050, Info 0x00000003, Location 0x00000800) Error(18948): Error message received from device: Detected a bitstream error during configuration. Error(23925): Debug suggestion: Potential errors: Device selected in Intel Quartus Prime project mismatch with the target device. you likely did Step 2 correctly, but Step 1 incorrectly If you're getting an error like this: Error(18948): Error message received from device: Internal error. (Subcode 0x001A, Info 0x00000000, Location 0x00004400) Error(18948): Error message received from device: Detected an error during configuration. you're likely did Step 1 and Step 2 correctly but ran into the issue described here: https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Quartus-Prime-Software/Error-18948-Error-message-received-from-device-Internal-error/m-p/1390454/highlight/trueRe: Agilex™ 7 FPGA I-Series Development Kit: Rev A /w AGIB27R29B1E2VR2
Hi Aqid, The older BTS zip files might contain the project template with the right settings to be populated in the .qsf file. Maybe the chips were stamped with inconsistent OPNs or worked under some obscure project configuration. I saw in the Internet Archive (aka archive.org) that the 2022 product page contained BTS packages for DK-DEV_AGI027RES and DK-DEV_AGI027R1BES that look like boards that are no longer sold. Perhaps we have one of those. Maybe getting those files in the screen shot below will help us. I did managed to get further using 25.1.1 by replicating the Power Management and VID settings from an old document in the .qsf file. But now I'm getting the following: Error(18948): Error message received from device: Internal error. (Subcode 0x001A, Info 0x00000000, Location 0x00004400) Error(18948): Error message received from device: Detected an error during configuration. Which tells me I'm likely missing some setting.Re: Agilex™ 7 FPGA I-Series Development Kit: Rev A /w AGIB27R29B1E2VR2
Hi Aqid, I mentioned the other thread so that you can contact your colleague (user name Ash_R_Intel) to find where the files may be. Of course it's not going to be on that thread. Please figure out who at Intel/Altera handled that request and get the file from the same source internally. The device that's available in Quartus 25.1.1, as you mentioned, is not the right one. The development board is using AGIB027R29B1E2VR2 rather than AGIB027R29B1E2V or AGIB027R29B1E2VC. I tried using AGIB027R29B1E2V with 25.1.1 and the programming gets stuck.Re: Agilex™ 7 FPGA I-Series Development Kit: Rev A /w AGIB27R29B1E2VR2
Hi Aqid, Ash_R_Intel seems to have access to the files in question. Please see thread below: https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Quartus-Prime-Software/Agilex-7-I-Series-AGIB027R29A1E2VR0/m-p/1696661 The file that I think the three of us on this thread might be looking for may start like this: agilex_agib027r29b1e2vr2_fpga It's probably a rev A judging by the serial numbers start with a 6.
