Hello,


Your part number is 1ST085EN2F43I2LG. This is a Stratix 10 E-tile device (TX variant).


The 25G Ethernet Intel FPGA IP supports Stratix 10 L- and H-tile devices only. Stratix 10 devices with both E- and H-tile transceivers are supported, but the IP core can only utilize the H-tile transceiver. Since your device is an E-tile TX part, this soft IP is not the right choice.


The E-Tile Hard IP for Ethernet is the correct IP for your board. It is the hard IP designed for your E-tile device, natively supports 10G/25G dynamic reconfiguration, RS-FEC (on 25G), MAC statistics counters, PTP timestamping, and packet generation/checking, all the features your test board requires.


Regards,
