Intel Adds CXL IP to Intel® Agilex™ FPGA IP Library in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Software v22.3
Intel has just released the Intel® Quartus® Prime Software v22.3. Among several other enhancements, Intel has added the Compute Express Link (CXL) intellectual property (IP) to the Intel Quartus Prime Software IP library. This CXL hard + soft IP builds upon the existing PCI Express (PCIe) 5.0 capabilities of the Intel® Agilex™ I-Series and M-Series FPGAs and SoCs that incorporate “R” transceiver tiles. The initial release of this IP supports CXL v1.1. A planned future IP release will provide a software-only upgrade path for these Intel Agilex FPGAs and SoCs by adding support for CXL v2.0.
