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 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

      SSGDMA seems to have disappeared in Quartus 25.1.1 on both Windows and Linux versions of Quartus for me as well (using the Agilex 5). I was able to create the IP in 25.1 and then migrate the project to 25.1.1.

      Hi @GabrielC

      If you are targeted Agilex 5 instead of Agilex 3, then you can move back to SSGDMA solution.
      Thanks community contributor @jc_ddc for helping to answer that.

      Gabriel , can you please try to generate the SSGDMA IP via 25.1 , then migrate it into 25.1.1 (if that is compulsory for you ?)
      The SSGDMA is in progress of ip enhancement, that why it is missing in the newest release.
