Why are there intermittent bit errors on the PHY Lite for Parallel Interfaces IP for Agilex™ 7 FPGA and Agilex™ 9 FPGA input path designs?

Description

Due to a problem in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 21.4, you might find functional failures or bit errors on Periphery-to-Core- Core (P2C) paths when using the PHY Lite for Parallel Interfaces IP for Agilex™ 7 and Agilex™ 9 FPGA. This is because the timing of the P2C transfer paths is not analyzed.

This problem only affects P2C transfers within PHY Lite for Parallel Interfaces IP for Agilex™ 7 FPGA and Agilex™ 9 FPGA.
