​Hi, we just found that on page 6 of the "Intel® Stratix® 10 Configuration via Protocol (CvP) Implementation User Guide" (ug-s10-cvp-18-0.pdf), the Cvp Update is supported on Stratix 10 devices, so would like to request that Intel answers the following two questions:

  1. Would Intel please confirm that Stratix 10 does support CvP Update?
  2. If Status 10 does support CvP Update, why can Arria 10 not support CvP Update?

The reason to ask the above questions is that it is confusing why Stratix 10 supports CvP Update but Arria 10 does not and even there is no plan for future Arria 10 to support CvP Update. Are they using different PCIe IP from different third party developers?

Thanks
