Why does the maximum observed channel-to-channel skew exceed 2 UI + 125 ps in an E-Tile transceiver under NRZ mode, even when TX PMA bonding is enabled?
Description Due to a problem in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software version 25.3.1 and earlier, you may observe channel-to-channel skew exceeds 2 UI + 125 ps in E-Tile transceivers under NRZ mode even when TX PMA bonding is enabled. Resolution There is no workaround currently, and there is no plan to fix this problem.31Views0likes0CommentsWhy does my Stratix® 10 FPGA device hang when triggering FPGA reconfiguration via nCONFIG pin and Frequency Tamper Detection feature is enabled?
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. This issue is planned to be resolved in a future release of the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software.26Views0likes0CommentsWhy 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.49Views0likes0CommentsWhy does the Interlaken (2nd Generation) Intel® FPGA IP fail to generate an evaluation mode programming file?

Description In the Agilex™ 5 FPGA designs, which enable HPS EMIF and IPs using GTS transceivers, the TX PLL or CDR of the GTS transceiver will not be able to lock to its reference clock. This is due to a problem in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software versions 23.4.1 and 24.1, which incorrectly sets the reference clock mux. In designs with IPs using GTS transceivers only without HPS EMIF enabled, the GTS transceiver TX PLL or CDR can achieve lock to the reference clock.
