Why does the fitter fail when a large number of protocol IP instances/profiles are used for GTS Dynamic Reconfiguration in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software versions 25.3.1 and earlier?

Description

When using a large number of IP instances for GTS Dynamic Reconfiguration, a fitter failure may occur if the combined total of channels and any IP GTS PMA/FEC Direct IP instances or GTS CPRIPHY IP Instances exceeds 71 for Dynamic Reconfiguration in Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software versions 25.3.1 and earlier. This limitation is explicitly stated in section 5.1 of the GTS Dynamic Reconfiguration Controller IP User Guide version 25.3.1. 

Resolution

There is no workaround available in Quartus Prime Pro Edition software versions 25.3 and earlier, but patch is available for Quartus Prime Pro Edition software version 25.3.1 Patch 1.15 corresponds to this problem.

You can download and install version 25.3.1 patch 1.15 below.

To prevent this problem, ensure that the maximum limit of 71 instances is not exceeded in your dynamic reconfiguration design, as specified in section 5.1 of the GTS Dynamic Reconfiguration Controller IP User Guide version 25.3.1. 

This problem is scheduled to be fixed in a future release of the Quartus Prime Pro Edition software.
