Why is the o_rx_pfc port enabled for longer durations than normal when generating designs at 400G SIP using the F-Tile Ethernet Hard IP with Priority Flow Control (PFC) enabled?
Description Due to a problem in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software version 25.3, you may see longer durations of “o_rx_pfc” port enabled in the example designs generated using the F-Tile Ethernet Hard IP at data rates of 400G SIP with PFC enabled. When PFC is enabled, if packets received are more than the maximum configured frame size of the receiver, along with which if packet truncation is also enabled on the receiver side, then the packets are truncated, causing data_valid to deassert. This deasserted data_valid signal is affecting the counters of o_rx_pfc to stretch the pause signal duration. Resolution This problem is scheduled to be fixed in a future release of the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software.9Views0likes0CommentsWhy does the AXI-Lite interface read 'x' in simulation when attempting to access the 'Stat' status registers for the 50g/100g/200g and 400g rates when using the Ethernet Subsystem FPGA IP?

Description Due to a problem starting from the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 19.4, you may see the HDMI 2.1 Intel® FPGA Source IP in TMDS mode output incorrect VSYNC and HSYNC polarity. This problem only impacts the HDMI 2.1 Intel® FPGA Source IP in TMDS mode. This problem does not impact HDMI 2.1 Intel® FPGA Source IP in FRL mode or HDMI 2.0 Intel® FPGA Source IP Note: HDMI 2.1 is enabled when setting Support FRL = 1 while HDMI 2.0 is enabled when setting Support FRL = 0. Resolution This problem is fixed starting with the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 21.4.1View0likes0CommentsWhy are TLPs being lost when using the R-Tile Avalon® Streaming Intel® FPGA IP for PCI Express?
Description Due to a problem in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software v21.2, the R-Tile Avalon® Streaming Intel® FPGA IP for PCI Express may fail to capture the pX_tx_st_eop_i signal assertion from the application logic at the Avalon® Streaming TX interface. As a result, the R-Tile Avalon® Streaming Intel® FPGA IP for PCI Express will drop the Avalon® Streaming packet and will not generate the corresponding Transaction Layer Packet (TLP). The following Avalon® Streaming packet delivered to the Avalon® Streaming TX interface may not be affected by this problem.

Description Due to a problem in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 21.3, you will see the problem "Internal loopback button" grey out when using internal loopback in the system console.

Description Due to a problem in the O-RAN Intel® FPGA IP version 1.8.0 and earlier, you may see the O-RAN Intel FPGA IP gives incorrect values when the Mu-law compression is turned on. When the compressed IqWidth and the original PRB value combination match as per below, the O-RAN Intel FPGA IP may generate an incorrect value of compressed PRB. IqWidth 8: Original PRB Value 0xFFC0 IqWidth 9: Original PRB Value 0xFFE0 IqWidth 10: Original PRB Value 0xFFF0 IqWidth 11: Original PRB Value 0xFFF8 IqWidth 12: Original PRB Value 0xFFFC IqWidth 13: Original PRB Value 0xFFFE IqWidth 14: Original PRB Value 0xFFFF For example, the original PRB value "0xFFF8" is compressed to 11 bits with comp Shift value '0' and the compressed PRB value is incorrectly generated as 0 (0x0). The correct compressed PRB value should be -1 (0x7FF). The Fronthaul Compression Intel® FPGA IP has the same problem. Resolution This problem is scheduled to be fixed in the O-RAN Intel® FPGA IP Version 1.8.1 and the Fronthaul Compression Intel FPGA IP 1.0.4.1View0likes0CommentsError: SDC_ENTITY not allowed for EFileKind, must be in {[VERILOG, VERILOG_ENCRYPT, SYSTEM_VERILOG, SYSTEM_VERILOG_ENCRYPT, VERILOG_INCLUDE, SYSTEM_VERILOG_INCLUDE, VHDL, VHDL_ENCRYPT, SDC, MIF, HEX, DAT, QXP, HPS_ISW, PLI_LIBRARY, VPI_LIBRARY, OTHER]}
