A3C* BSDL updates available?

 

Hello,

There are several of the A3CZ, A3CU and A3CV* families which are fail compilation with syntax errors on  pins duplicated (usually K24 and K25).   and then a most have errors in their use of port_grouping.

Are there updates available?

Regars,
Tom

    your response perhaps shows a misunderstanding, that there is some separate BSDL for 1149.1 vs. 1149.6.  This may directly identify that there is a general knowledge gap around these standards which prevent providing customers useful information in IEEE compliant form.    IEEE 1149.6 is a layer on top of 1149.1.  The rules for BSDL come from 1149.1 and then extensions are added to support 1149.6.    The very BSDLs you point to are the ones which are failing compilation. Altera, nor any other vendor, offer separate BSDLs one for 1149.1 and one for 1149.6 so the idea "these 1149.6 might work" is incorrect.  This IS the compilation of a3cu100bb23c.bsdl  it has no other form provided by Altera.

      Hi,

      Thanks for the clarification. I will raise an internal bug for the topic.

    Hi,

     

    Just checking, were you able to use the IEEE 1149.6 compliant models?

     

    Regards

    Hi,

    Referring to below two links, I don't find IEEE 1149.1 compliant models for Agilex 3.

    https://docs.altera.com/search?content-lang=en-US&value-filters=Resource_Type~%2522Developer+Resources%257CModels%257CBSDL+Models%2522*device_family~%2522Device+Families%257CAgilex+Families%257CAgilex+3%2522&sort=relevance&customSort=Relevance

     

    https://www.altera.com/design/devices/resources/models/bsdl

     

    Can you set the tool to check IEEE 1149.6 compliancy instead?

     

    Regards
