Arria 10 Gx FPGA Development Board

Hi , I'm presently working on the development kit for the Arria 10 Gx FPGA Development Board. We can execute the BTS test files included with the kit using Quartus Prime PRO 24.1 software, but when ...

Hi Nikitha_Sree,


You are not able to use the ready to test file from a Stratix10 project.

The Stratix10 project is just the reference for how the design is done especially on the connections in Platform design. The pin assignment is something to be considered for migration.


Thanks.

Regards,

Aik Eu

    Hi @Nikitha_Sree,

    Just wanted to follow up on your question about the VID mode. FvM is right, that setting is for Stratix 10 and you can disregard it for Arria 10.

    Looks like Aik Eu already covered the .sof files being for Stratix too. The good news is you can still use them as a reference for your design connections, just be mindful of pin assignments when migrating to your Arria 10 board.

    Hi Aik Eu ,

    thanks for the response.

    1. When simulating the design using the vsim command with Questa for Intel FPGA simulator, I'm encountering errors.
