Transceiver Toolkit (TTK) Example Designs Review (using Quartus II v15.0)

Hi all, While working on an Arria V GZ transceiver design I found I was getting timing errors in a design compiled under version 15.0 that compiled fine under 14.x. I've filed a Service Request...

Thanks for your advice. I will file a service request to Altera to for the latest TTK design examples for 15.0. The Quartus II 15.0 was released some time ago but the current design examples are still of 13.0sp1 which seems quite outdated.

The fact that most of them do not work correctly is pretty bad! If you try to build a design using the Stratix IV devices nothing works from the Quartus 15.0 installation! Its pretty bad that the "recommended" method of testing transceiver links does not work. I'm pretty disappointed.

Note that I have not received any feedback from Altera regarding the SR I filed. So please keep filing SRs so that Altera gets a clue! :)

Cheers,

Dave
