Why does the SEU test for Zephyr RTOS fail in the Agilex® 5 FPGA Premium development kit when using ATF and GHRD from the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 24.3.1 and later release?

Description

Due to a compatibility problem between the latest version of Zephyr (24.3) and the ATF and GHRD releases from the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 24.3.1 and later, the SEU Zephyr test fails with a hang in the Agilex® 5 FPGA Premium Development kit. The test hangs after the following messages:

 

SEU Test Started

The Client No is 0x26ccad96

The Client No is 0x26dbf773

SEU Safe Error Insert Test Started.

<hang is observed here>

Resolution

To work around this problem, it is recommended to use the latest version of the components in which this test passes, which corresponds to the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 24.3 release as documented on the following page:
