How do I enable debug endpoint for transceiver toolkit (ADME) for the F-Tile 25G Ethernet Soft-IP to use the Transceiver Toolkit?
Description The F-Tile 25G Ethernet IP (alt_e25_f) does not expose the "Enable debug endpoint for transceiver toolkit" option in the IP Parameter Editor GUI. As a result, users cannot enable Transceiver Toolkit access through the standard IP configuration interface. Resolution To enable debug endpoint for transceiver toolkit for the F-Tile 25G Ethernet IP, use the following workaround: To enable the debug endpoint for the Transceiver Toolkit, use the following workaround: Open the .ip file for the F-Tile 25G Ethernet Soft IP. Locate the ENABLE_ADME_GUI parameter. Change its value from 0 to 1. Save the .ip file. Regenerate the IP. Note: This workaround modifies a hidden parameter that is not officially available in the GUI. The parameter implementation may change in future releases. After upgrading Quartus® Prime software, verify that the functionality continues to operate as expected.Why Can't I Program Using Active Serial Programming with my USB Blaster III?
Description Due to a firmware issue the USB Blaster III Development cable may not have the correct product ID and may inadvertently disabled the active serial programming feature.

Description In Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 25.1 and earlier, an issue occurs when the physical anti‑tamper feature is enabled using the Frequency Tamper Detection method in combination with an Active Serial configuration scheme. If you initiate a device reconfiguration by pulsing the nCONFIG pin, the Stratix® 10 FPGA may hang and fail to proceed with the reconfiguration process. Resolution You can recover the device by performing a power cycle. The problem has been fixed starting with Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software version 26.1.Why is no video output displayed when migrating the F-Tile SDI II FPGA IP Design Example with 12G multi-rate from an older version to Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 25.3.1 patch 1.10 ?
Description Due to an issue in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software Programmer version 25.3.1, users may observe that no SDI II video output is displayed on the receiver side when using the F-tile SDI II FPGA IP Design Example with 12G multi-rate on Agilex® 7 FPGA devices. This issue is caused by forcing lock-to-data. For SDI dynamic reconfiguration designs, manual CDR lock mode with lock-to-ref enabled should be used. Resolution To solve this problem, use below method 1. Open Platform Designer of sdi_rx_sys.qsys 2. Disable fgt_rx_set_locktodata port, Enable fgt_rx_set_locktoref port 3. At System View Should not seeing fgt_rx_set_locktodata port Export fgt_rx_set_locktoref port out 4. Sync info and regenerate HDL 5. Open rx_top.sv file Comment out / remove fgt_rx_set_locktodata Add exported fgt_rx_set_locktoref port and connect to ~rx_set_ltd 6. Save and recompile design This problem is scheduled to be fixed in a future release of the Quartus Prime Pro Edition software.
