Arria 10 PCIe Avalon-MM DMA Reference Design: Read/Write Timeout

So after months of trying to figure out what happened I finally have a solution for this. The npor and perstn signals must both be set to the reset line. Or at least that's how I got it to work. In my setup, I left the npor signal "open" and only connected perstn. I did this because I had found posts on this about which one to connect and it only mentioned perstn. The documentation also states that npor is an OR output of perstn and some other signal. After connecting both perstn and npor to the same reset the card started functioning with no problem. This makes sense since on SignalTap I only had the clocks working but the card seemed dead as in no other signals would change.

For people searching and finding this topic, this was my environment:

CentOS 6.9

Nallatech N385a (Arria 10 [10AX115N3F40E2SG])

Quartus Prime Pro 18.0.1

I was able to verify the qsys design, which was the Arria 10 Reference Design, using Dave's program found here:
