How does the FPGA AI Suite utilize Agilex 5 DSP Blocks?
Hello Altera Community. I have a module called "dot_bf16" that uses the bf16 floating point format to calculate dot product and I am wondering if it uses the Agilex5 AI optimized DSP blocks to do this. I can't myself see how the DSP blocks are configured because they are all encrypted. 1. Agilex™ 5 Variable Precision DSP Blocks Overview • Variable Precision DSP Blocks User Guide Agilex™ 5 FPGAs and SoCs • Altera Documentation and Resources Center This document states that there are 3 operational modes for tensor mode: 1. Tensor float point mode 2. Tensor fixed point mode 3. Tensor accumulation mode Does the FPGA AI Suite utilize any of these? I also noticed the module uses a FSM and controller.AI Suite - Spatial IP outputs wrong value
Hello Altera Community When looking at my Spatial IP in Signal Tap, I can see that it outputs a wrong value. Please help me identify where this mistakes happen. Below is the Signal Tap result of my test: 3D903C90 - 3D9C3D87 -BD983E38 However from my golden_output_sink_port_0.txt I'm expecting this value: 3D12BC8D - 3DA43E1E - 3DABBE18 Below is the Singal Tap of my input I'm inserting the values I got from input_vlogkw.txt from the DLA_COMPILER. Here is a list of warnings I got from Quartus, but they are from proteced sv files that I can't acess: Warning(16761): VHDL warning at spatial_first.vhd(146): actual for formal port "reset_reset" is neither a static name nor a globally static expression Warning(13469): Verilog HDL assignment warning at dot_core_controller.sv(381): truncated value with size 6 to match size of target (5) Warning(16788): Net "out[0][31]" does not have a driver at dsp_sum_of_2n_bf16xbf16.sv(118) Warning(13469): Verilog HDL assignment warning at dot_core_controller.sv(381): truncated value with size 6 to match size of target (5) Warning(21620): Design Assistant Results: 1 of 1 High severity rules issued violations in snapshot 'partitioned'.

Any date for the release of the Docker image alterafpga/fpgaaisuite-quartus-v2026.1.1?
The FPGA AI Suite Handbook v2026.1.1 refers to docker images alterafpga/fpgaaisuite-quartus-v2026.1.1 and alterafpga/fpgaaisuite-v2026.1.1 but docker desktop stops at alterafpga/fpgaaisuite-v2025.3. Could anyone give a best guess as to when it will become available? Best wishes, Jeremy
