Hi again.
I've got an update for you. I tried to use Quartus v24.3.1 but still getting the same error as before about not being able to create a directory in the user location.
"Just try to understand from you, if purely from the design example without adding FGT, the toolkit work fine , am I correct on this ?"
I'm not adding FGT. The F-Tile transceiver exists in the original example design. All I'm trying to do is add some debug to it, to be able to view the eye of the signal on the Rx side. To do that I'm adding the debug option as described in your guide:
7.2.1. Modifying the Design to Enable F-Tile Transceiver Debug
Attached you'll find a snapshot of what I'm trying to do and I'm getting the error about the user directory failing to create.

Hi Vasileios,
First things. to clarified, If I check back your initial message and your device OPN.- You are using "AGF" F-series device, FYI our F-tile SDI II design example is only supported "AGI series" of device
- https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/710496/24-2-19-5-0/hardware-and-software-requirements.htmlif you need it to be fully supported, some customization of custom code might be needed
Second and the most important,- Our Agilex device for SDI II IP does not supported either Transceiver Toolkit or Debug Toolkit.
- the IP GUI does not have option to enable "TTK" or "DTK" as well.
- But for PCIE design example gen5 https://community.intel.com/t5/FPGA-Intellectual-Property/How-to-run-PCIe-Gen-5-Design-Example-using-Altera-FPGA-device/td-p/1640988 the option is there for DTK in PCIe design, but not for SDI II either in F-series or I-series.
- But for Arria 10 , we have an design example to enable it Intel® Arria® 10 FPGA – Triple-Rate SDI with Transceiver Toolkit Reference Design perhaps you can refer that.
is it compulsory for you to run the debug toolkit ? Any reason needed for that ?
Perhaps you could consider something alternative like SignalTap could be a helpful tools for debugging
