Cyclone 10 GX Development Kit USB3.1 Channel problem

Hi, there

We purchased the Cyclone 10 GX Development Kit. After co-operate with System Level Solutions (India) Pvt. Ltd. for 3 weeks, we found that the USB3.1 channel can not setup any super speed(5gbps) or super speed plus (10gbps) link , except the high speed(480mbps).

Looks the board testing ​software provided by intel do not include the USB3.1 channel testing.

Is there tools I could find on INTEL website or I had to return the board ?

    Hi, As I mentioned we are plan to using the USB3.1 gen 2 IP core which will be provided by System Level Solutions (India) Pvt. Ltd. https://www.intel.cn/content/www/cn/zh/programmable/solutions/partners/partner-profile/system-level-solutions--inc-/ip/embedded-usb-3-1-gen-2-device-controller--eusb31sf-.html http://www.slscorp.com/ip-cores/communication/eusb-3-1-gen-2-device-controller-eusb31sf.html We download the demo project files from SLS, and get the message like the attached log file. We have tried the different orientation of the C to C and A to C cable, and different USB ports and different PCs/laptops, same result. With the instructions from the SLS engineer, we checked some testing point on the dev board, and confirmed that the control signal from FPGA are correct and the pin status of the driver chip are correct too. We have spent three weeks on the dev board, and tried any kind of options, after we get the board. And even recovering to factory default helps noting. We don’t have equipment to test the USB3.1 RX/TX channel. And looks the problem should be about the transceiver. We cannot find any board testing software about the USB3.1 port on INTEL website. That is why we ask help here. Hope you could help us, and make our project move forward as quick as possible.

    I tried the P/N 6XX-44528R-0B, S/N 10CGX0000346 which I found on the DEV kit, but your website said cannot find the device.

    Hi, aabd

    I had contacted with apgcs@intel.com. But they said

    Hi Wu,

    Good day!

    May I know if you have filed an IPS ticket? If yes, can you provide IPS#?

    FYI, RMA flow for dev kit:

    1. The warranty period for dev kit is 90 days after purchase

    2. Customer / Distributor will first requests RMA via IPS to obtain a IPS#

    3. If the RMA is approved against the IPS, customer needs to contact distributor

    4. Distributor will send request to Penang CSR referencing the IPS#, original SO# and Serial# of the kits

    5. Penang CSR will work with RMA team to issue a RMA# for the return.

    Thanks & Regards,

    Cheau Yi

    Customer Service Specialist

    Intel Corporation

    Programmable Solutions Group

    Then I had to go to "my intel"->"my support" to create a ticket, and get response.

    Dear WU：

    I'm very sorry, but for the FPGA development version, Tickets has no way to support it, only FPGA forum support, sorry again.

    Regards,

    Intel Support Team

    It really make my crazy. What I can do with this?

    Hello,

    We apologies for the confusing happen. May I know, did you get your distributor (Mouser) to request RMA? As I communicate with you in my previous reply, you need to get your Distributor to request RMA via IPS. In this case you need to get Mouser to contact apgcs@intel.com for RMA request.
