Intel FPGA CXL IP requires a separate license purchase. In the recent release of Intel Quartus Prime Design Software, you can get access to two CXL IP variants: Type 2 and Type 3. Here are the specific IP ordering codes to have the local sales person give you a price quote on: IP-CXLTYP2 or IP-CXLTYP3DDR. This CXL IP works with any R-Tile (die rev. B0) based Agilex FPGA device or dev kit. If you are looking to use an Intel Dev.

Before you make a decision to purchase the CXL IP, you can also work with the local sales team to provide you with a free 30-day / 60-day IP evaluation license (which assumes you already have Quartus v22.3 installed) to try out the IP.
