How can I use the HDMI Tx port on Arria V GX Starter kit?

Hi all, I wanted to use the HDMI Tx port on Arria V GX Starter kit, so I declaired the TMDS output pins and assigned the pins as: HDMI_TX_CLK_P: PIN_AC3, 1.5-V PCML HDMI_TX_CLK_N: PIN_AC4, 1.5-V P...

    Hi,

    I used NIOS II Command Shell and executed quartus, then opened the project.

    I generated the example again.

    Finally, I had generated the example codes.

    Thank you so much.

Hi Sir,

For HDMI in AV GX kit, you may refer to the available example design that can obtain from this document.

https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/ug/ug_hdmi.pdf#page=47

Please note that the section also guide you on how to generate the design. You may refer to the design on how to fit the HDMI IP in quartus.

Also, the port that you listed is transceiver port. You suppose can use it without HDMI IP for other reason.

Hi,

When I used the Quartus version 18.1 standard to generate the example code, I got the error message like this:

How can I solve this error?

Thanks.
