DK-DEV-AGI027RBES missing device selection

Hi, 

Saw similar issues on slightly different part numbers.

I have the following ES2 development board: DK-DEV-AGI027RBES which has the AGIB027R29A1E2VR3 device part number.

I couldn't find this part number in Quartus Pro 26.1 nor older versions like Quartus Pro 23.3 

Furthermore, when running JTAG scan in 23.3 it seems like IDCODE is shared across multiple devices where neither of them is the part I have:

Quartus 23.3 device selection does show the part I have:

 

I prefer working with 26.1 and receiving a patch to support this part number if possible, if not please guide which Quartus version is best to use in my case.

Thanks!

    Hi Michael1,

    I'm checking this internally and will get back to you.
    One thing is, I would like to clarify when you said "I couldn't find this part number in Quartus Pro 26.1 nor older versions like Quartus Pro 23.3 "

    but you also said "Quartus 23.3 device selection does show the part I have:"

    Can you confirm this?

    Regards,
    Fakhrul

      Hi Fakhrul,
      Thanks for replying, let me clarify.

      1) In Quartus Pro 26.1 the exact device OPN that I have doesn't exist in the device selection list:

       

      2) Quartus 26.1 Programmer detects the following part number upon JTAG scan:

       

      3) In Quartus Pro 23.3 the exact part number does exist as shown in the original post 2nd picture.

      4) In Quartus 23.3 Programmer the JTAG scan shows numerous possible Agilex 7 devices which share the same IDCODE as it read during scan operation (none of them is the exact part).

       

      Also, I have read the Agilex 7 known issues covered in document 683584 and see many disturbing issues that could affect my project's scope (mainly around F-tile bugs) which should be solved in newer Quartus versions so I think our focus should be on enabling the work with this specifiv Evaluation Kit with Quartus Pro 26.1

      Here is a picture of the kit for reference:

      Hi Michael,
       

      I checked this internally with the engineering team.


      For device OPN AGIB027R29A1E2VR3, the recommended Quartus versions are Quartus Prime Pro 22.2 through 23.3.


      This OPN was discontinued from the Quartus 23.4 release onward, so it is not supported in Quartus 23.4 or later releases, including Quartus 26.1.


      Please use Quartus Prime Pro 23.3 or an earlier recommended release when working with this device.


      Regards,
      Fakhrul

        Hi Fakhrul,

        First of all as I said, I can't figure out how to program the device in 23.3, please see the first screenshot of the Programmer, the AGIB027R29A1E2VR3 part number doesn't exist there, when choosing for example the AGIB027R29AR3 from the list and trying to program it, the programmer shows an error of mismatch between OPN in quartus and OPN in quartus programmer:



        Also, as I said, Agilex 7 known issues document has a lot of issues that affect me and the solution there is to move to newer Quartus versions (25.1.1 and above)
