Agilex-5 supported Transceivers

Hi,

sure. The issue was observed at the first start-up of the dev kit. The kit comes pre-programmed with an HPS Image, and this image was used for the initial testing as per the document D554638(published date 2026.06.19)
I downloaded the development kit files as per point 2.3.2 of the document. Below mentioned is the case for QSFP28. Similar steps were also performed for SFP28. 10G SFP+ was attempted as well.

• Path is \*\Altera_Devkit_design_package\DK-A5E065AB32AEA-26.1.0.104\examples\board_test_system\
• start.batch was launched with admin rights
• Clicking Agilex-5(as per Fig.8 in document) launches Figure 38.
• Navigating to point 4.3.5.3 -> issue with QSFP28 design. Programmer crashes with message "failed"

• The above screenshot is for *.sof* of DDR, but similar was for the case of QSP28 as well as SFP28 as well
• Therefore, BTS GUI was closed. And Altera FPGA Programmer was used for loading the *bts_qsfpn.sof* file located at \\Altera_Devkit_design_package\DK-A5E065AB32AEA-26.1.0.104\examples\board_test_system\image\sm72si\PRD0\
• Once the sof loads successfully, BTS GUI is launched again. Clicking on Aglilex-5, shows the current configuration of the board. 
• 
• 

  Attaching a 100G XCVR and cable for loopback - in the above case, we used the 100G Transceiver which is supposed to be compatible to Nvidia Mellanox. - Did not work. Tx at 100% and Rx at 0%.

• Next, we used 40G QSFP+ Xcvrs which are "generic" - the exact meaning of such a transceiver is unknown-( dunno which vendor code was written in the EEPROM for i2C comm)
• I repeated such a test-setup  for both the 25G and 10G transceivers, and tried using with BTS.
• Sadly, I ordered all transceivers as Nvidia compatible and hence we it did not work as mentioned above.

All transceivers were purchased from FS.COM. Exact product is SFP-25GSR-85,  QSFP-SR4-100G

Hence, the query to inquire about the exact hardware components used by the board manufacturers to qualify the design on their end before shipment.
