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,

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

    Hi Gabriel,

    Please accept my sincerely apology that I cannot help too much on this issue.
    As mentioned the MCDMA for Agilex 3 ETA (subject to change) will only be available next year onwards.
    If you really have a strict price concern, or device selection issue, I would strongly suggest you to reach you to any of your local Distributor Field Application Engineer (DFAE). I believe they can help to address your concern on both device and price selection.

    Let me know if there is anything about the PCIe that I can better assist. I would happy to help out.

    Regards,
    Wincent

      Hi Wincent,

      You missed an important detail again...
      I wrote explicitly, it fails for Agilex 5 (A5EC065BB32AE4S)!!
      I chose a similar sized device; the price is also comparable, it could be a good option if it would also be available.

      But MMap (PIO) and DMA (D2H) is a must, and I need a solution...

      Regards,
      Gabriel

        Sorry, I meant A5EC008BB32AI6S

        But I get from one problem to the other...

        I was looking for SSGDMA, and it's not visible at all, for Agilex 5 (the same device)

        What am I doing wrong?? (Quartus 25.1.1)

        Regards,
        Gabriel
