GXB stuck in calibration: some new issues

HI,

Your Quartus design is complicated and I may need more time to slowly digest it.

Anyway, I have below 2 extra finding to share with you

1. Your Quartus design "device and pin option" setting now set config clock source to internal oscillator instead of CLKUSR pin. This is not recommended as per below KDB guideline

1. This 2nd finding here could explained why HDMI transceiver channel calibration stuck after you added in "ehive_dual_pd" platform designer that contains PCIe hard IP

  • You can try remove PCIe IP design module and rerun testing to check if PCIe IP is the culprit ?

Thanks.
