Bus Failure using FPGA-to-SDRAM Interface

Description

When trying to access SDRAM through the SoC’s FPGA-to-SDRAM interface, your design might experience a bus failure, resulting in either of the following symptoms:

• The FPGA-to-SDRAM interface hangs
• The interface transfers spurious data

Resolution

If your design uses the FPGA-to-SDRAM interface, you must download and install a software patch. If you are using Quartus II v12.1, you must first upgrade to v13.0.
