Why is the dummy RX PHY required for reconfiguration missing from the Intel® FPGA SDI II IP generated Multi Rate Bidirectional mode design example?

Description

Due to a problem with the Intel® FPGA SDI II IP in Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro software version 17.1, you may observe that the dummy RX PHY required for reconfiguration is missing from the IP generated Multi Rate Bidirectional mode design example targetting Intel® Stratix® 10 devices. This problem affects Windows* OS configurations only.

Resolution

To work around this problem, generate the design example in Linux* OS.

This problem has been fixed starting in Intel Quartus Prime Pro software version 17.1.2.
