Why don’t I see critical warnings for ATX or fPLL spacing violations for the Arria® 10 FPGA device project when using the Quartus® Prime Pro Software versions 19.1 to 22.2?

Description

Due to a bug in the Quartus® Prime Pro software versions 19.1 to 22.2, you will not see a critical warning for ATX PLL or fPLL spacing if you violate the requirements documented in section 3.1.1. Transmit PLLs Spacing Guideline when using ATX PLLs and fPLLs of the Arria® 10 Transceiver PHY User Guide.

 

It is mandatory to meet the ATX PLL-to-ATX PLL Spacing Guidelines and ATX PLL-to-fPLL Spacing Guidelines documented in the Arria® 10 Transceiver PHY User Guide.

 

Resolution

This critical warning omission messaging was fixed in Quartus® Prime Pro software version 22.3.
