Serial Lite 3 and PCIe 4
Hello,
I'm looking for an FPGA that can support PCIe 4.0 as well as Serial Lite 3.
The Agilex 7 supports PCIe 4.0 and also has E-Tiles (which the Arria 10 and Stratix 10 FPGAs use for Serial Lite 3). But Agilex 7 is missing from the Serial Lite 3 user guide.
So can Agilex 7 do Serial Lite 3 or only Serial Lite 4 ?

Hi,
From my search I could narrow down to Stratix 10 DX FPGAs.
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/fpga/stratix/10/dx.html
It supports PCIe 4.0 as well as listed in the SerialLite III IP support table:
Find Intel® FPGA Intellectual Property (IP) Cores
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply.
Is Stratix 10 DX the only option ?
I see that Agilex 7 has a version with E-Tiles and I know that E-Tiles can be used by Stratix 10 for Serial Lite 3.
So why can't the Agilex 7 ?

The Serial Lite III IP is not validated in Agilex 7.
