Agilex 5 A5EC065BB32AE5SR0 issue

Hello 

I built a new board with A5EC065BB32AE5SR0 , I got a issue with the fabric. 

the FPGA is configurable, and Init done goes to high after configuration .

I have a very simple verilog code with PLL output to the pin. 

But there is no output. 

could you identify what is the problem here?

    Without seeing a design or code, it's pretty much impossible to help.  Can you provide more detail and maybe some code?  Also what you've tried so far for debugging.

    The code is very simple, a PLL only

     

    module test
    (
    input CLK_25MHZ_IN,
    input DDR_REF_CLK0,
    input DDR_REF_CLK1,
    input DDR_REF_CLK2,
    input DDR_REF_CLK3,
     
    input AVSTX8W_CLK,  //Avalon FIFO clock input
     
    //GPIO Interface
    inout [5:0] SYS_GPIO, //Sys GPIO 0 : as command output for cmd done
    output [2:0] SYS_LED,
    output    DDR_B4_x4_DQ2,
    output    DDR_B4_x4_DQ6,
     
    output DDR_1V8_IO0,
    inout [6:0] GPIO
     
     
    );
     
     
     
    //assign DDR_B4_x4_DQ6 = AVSTX8W_CLK;
    //assign DDR_B4_x4_DQ2 = CLK_25MHZ_IN;
     
    wire sys_reset;
     
     
    reset u0 (
    .ninit_done (sys_reset)  //  output,  width = 1, ninit_done.reset
    );
     
     
    wire sys_pll_locked;
    wire nios_clk;
    wire test_clk;
    SYS_PLL sys_pll (
    .refclk   (AVSTX8W_CLK),   //   input,  width = 1,  refclk.clk
    .locked   (sys_pll_locked),   //  output,  width = 1,  locked.export
    .rst      (sys_reset),      //   input,  width = 1,   reset.reset
    //.extclk_out (SYS_GPIO[1:0]),
    .outclk_0 (nios_clk), //  output,  width = 1, outclk0.clk
    .outclk_1 (test_clk), //  output,  width = 1, outclk1.clk
    .outclk_2 ()  //  output,  width = 1, outclk2.clk
    );
    /*
    reg output_clk;
    always@(posedge nios_clk) begin
    output_clk <= ~ output_clk;
    end
    */
     
    wire sys_rstn;
     
    assign sys_rstn = sys_pll_locked & (~sys_reset);
     
    assign SYS_LED[0]  = sys_rstn? nios_clk : 1'bx;
    assign SYS_LED[1] = sys_reset;
    assign SYS_LED[2] = sys_pll_locked;
     
    assign GPIO[0] = sys_rstn;
    assign GPIO[1] = 1'b1;
    assign GPIO[2] = CLK_25MHZ_IN;
    assign GPIO[3] = 1'b1;
    assign GPIO[4] = 1'b0;
    assign GPIO[5] = 1'b1;
    assign GPIO[6] = 1'b0;
     
     
    endmodule
     
    The voltage is shown on the screenshot above, 
     
     

    Temp sensor plot is shown above. 

    Any other files I can provide pls let me know

       The led pin is gpio only.nothing is there and test point only.  The nios clk is 100mhz, I am using oscilloscope to capture the wave form. A constant one is shown only. Pin assignment is correct. The pll locked is high but nothing came out from the pin

        You'll have to use pll clock source with low jitter check this link

        Schematic can be downloaded from installer package link

        For example premium dev kit, I set the location as below:

         

         

        Signal tap result:

        I use issp to toggle the reset:

        issp u0 (
        .source (sys_reset)  //  output,  width = 1, sources.source
        );

    Are you trying to see this on a flashing LED or are you using a scope?  You're not going to be able to see a multi MHz clock flash on an LED.  What frequency is nios_clk?  Have you made sure that the pin you assigned SYS_LED[0] in the Pin Planner is configured correctly (maybe needs a pull-up?)?
