Agilex 3 GTS PCIe IP missing

I plan a new design using PCIe 3 and LPDDR4 using Agilex3. I already have a prototype project using an existing Cyclone 5 board, and it worked just fine. I tried to move to Agilex3 (Quartus Prime P...

Hi Wincent,

I don't need SSGDMA explicitly.
I looked through MCDMA IP, and it looks like it offers all I need...

The problem is... the HW is in advanced design stage (I am mostly responsible for firmware) around Agilex 3, it matches the most (we don't need HPS for this project).
Additionally, I see Agilex 3 is already available, but Agilex 5 not.

Otherwise we have a real problem... going back to Cyclone V would be the worst case solution...

If I understand correctly, MCDMA is only "soft" IP. I would be optimistic to get it for A3...

Would it be possible to get some kind of "early beta" access? To be able to progress with my firmware design?

Thanks,

Gabriel

    >> I understand your concern, That why I would suggest you to reach out to any of your cognizant Altera FAE/DFAE to check if the beta version is available or not
    >> or you may try to submit your enquiry via https://www.altera.com/contact

    Let me know if you have any further question.

        Hi Wincent,

        As I wrote here ( community.intel.com/t5/Programmable-Devices/Agilex-3-GTS-PCIe-IP-missing/m-p/1716620#M101270 ), the focus changed to implementing/using on smaller devices (Agilex 5 is similar in price for the similar size, but no availability yet).

        Should I open a new/dedicated thread?

        Thanks,
        Gabriel
