Why are Toolkit instances (ETK, TTK) not detected for Agilex® 7 F-Tile Ethernet Hard IP in System-console after device configuration?

Description

In designs using multiple instances of the Agilex® 7 F-Tile Ethernet Hard IP with Toolkit support enabled (ETK and TTK), the Toolkit instances may sometimes not be detected in the System Console GUI after programming the FPGA with the design .sof file.

This behavior is caused by a problem in the F-Tile Ethernet Hard IP configuration.

Resolution

A patch is available to fix this problem for the Quartus Prime Pro Edition software version 25.3.1 and 26.1.

Download and apply attached patches (1.32, 0.35) for intended Quartus version, which restores Toolkit visibility in the System Console GUI for the F-Tile Ethernet Hard IP.

This problem is fixed beginning with the Quartus Prime Pro Edition software version 26.1.1.
