Hi

To generate a Transceiver IP supporting PAM-4 64 GT/s for PCIe Gen6 on Agilex-7 FPGAs with FHT and FGT PMAs, here are a few considerations:

Device Support:

Verify that the specific Agilex-7 device you are using supports PCIe Gen6 (64 GT/s) and PAM-4 64 GT/s through the FHT or FGT PMAs. Not all Agilex devices may support this speed in all transceiver configurations.

IP Selection:

Use the correct Intel Transceiver PHY IP. For Agilex-7, ensure you're using the latest version of Quartus Prime Pro, as older versions may not include full support for PCIe Gen6 or PAM-4 64 GT/s capabilities.
