Why does my EMIF IP RDIMM design have invalid assignments for SDA/SCL signals after compilation?
Description Due to a problem in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software versions 25.1.1, 25.3, and 25.3.1, the Fitter does not automatically place the I2C SDA/SCL signals when they are not explicitly assigned. Resolution To work around the problem, manually assign legal locations for the following signals on the AC1 lane: SDA: index 10 SCL: index 11 For details, see the “Address and Command Pin Placement” table in the External Memory Interfaces Agilex® 7 M‑Series FPGA IP User Guide (DDR5): Address and Command Pin Placement. Additional Information Affected Quartus® Prime versions: 25.1.1 25.3 25.3.1 This problem has been fixed starting with Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software version 26.1.45Views0likes0CommentsWhy is the eCPRI FPGA IP unable to run on hardware using Stratix® 10 E-Tile with the Nios® V Processor for FPGA and turn on the interworking function (IWF)?
Description Due to a problem in the eCPRI FPGA IP version 3.0.2 in the example design, you may find that there is an error shown at the 10G transaction after changing the dynamic reconfiguration process from 25G to 10G. Resolution There is currently no plan to fix this behavior in a future Quartus® Prime release.64Views0likes0CommentsWhy does the o_rx_pcs_ready signal fail to assert in hardware for the PAM4 variant of the F-Tile Ethernet FPGA Hard IP?
Description Due to a problem in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 23.3 and earlier, the o_rx_pcs_ready signal will fail to assert in hardware for the PAM4 variant of the F-Tile Ethernet FPGA Hard IP when the variant is using both a 312.5MHz PMA reference clock and the Quartus Setting File(QSF) assignment VSR_MODE_LOW_LOSS is being used. Resolution To work around this problem, disable the QSF assignment VSR_MODE_LOW_LOSS.

Description In designs using multiple instances of the Agilex® 7 F-Tile Ethernet Hard IP with Toolkit support enabled (ETK and TTK), the Toolkit instances may sometimes not be detected in the System Console GUI after programming the FPGA with the design .sof file. This behavior is caused by a problem in the F-Tile Ethernet Hard IP configuration. Resolution A patch is available to fix this problem for the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software version 25.3.1. Download and apply attached patch 1.32, which restores Toolkit visibility in the System Console GUI for the F-Tile Ethernet Hard IP. This problem is scheduled to be fixed in a future release of Quartus Prime Pro Edition software.44Views0likes0CommentsWhy does EMIF for HPS LPDDR4 fail calibration on the Agilex® 5 FPGA and SoC FPGA?
Description In the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software 24.3, when configuring the Agilex® 5 FPGAs and SoC FPGAs with the EMIF for HPS IP and LPDDR4 device implemented as dual rank (2 chip selects), dual channels (i.e., 4 dies each being 16 Gbit in density), calibration can fail.
