Please provide recommendation on which IP/protocol to use for inter-FPGA connectivity while developing prototyping system based on multiple Stratix10 FPGAs - i.e. somthing functionally similar to Xilinx's chip2chip interface IP. Thanks.

HI,

It really depends on your project application requirement.

Intel FPGA doesn't has unique IP core to FPGA to FPGA data transfer but you can consider using common industrial IP for the same purpose.

For instance :

  1. For date rate > 1G - You can consider Ethernet IP
  2. For data rate around 1G - LVDS IP
  3. For data rate < 1G - Either PHYlite IP or GPIO IP

Thanks.

Regards,

dlim

Hello, I noticed from Intel FPGA info. site literature that Serial Lite-III IP is supported in A10/S10 devices – which can be used for board-to-board interfacing. However, it is not mentioned in the 3 options you mentioned below; Can you please comment on that ? Thanks & regards, Mani
