Description The VSR_MODE_HIGH_LOSS option is available in the dropdown menu of the IP GUI for F-Tile JESD204B IP Design Examples. However, starting from Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Design Software version 25.3, this option is deprecated and no longer supported. With the updated F-Tile firmware starting in Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Design Software version 25.3, VSR_MODE_HIGH_LOSS and VSR_MODE_LOW_LOSS are treated equivalently. As a result, selecting VSR_MODE_HIGH_LOSS for hardware testing (e.g., on a development kit) allows the Design Example to compile successfully, but the SOF generation fails. Resolution Users should select VSR_MODE_LOW_LOSS. This issue is fixed in Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Design Software Version 25.3.1.29Views0likes0CommentsWhy Does the Simplex RX/TX Design Example Fail During HSSI Support Logic Generation with a QHIP_IP_PROPERTY Case Sensitivity Error in F-Tile JESD204B IP?
Description Due to a problem in Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Design Software Version 25.3, the F-Tile JESD204B IP Simplex RX/TX example design may fail with the following error in compilation: "Cannot find QHIP_IP_PROPERTY tile_ip_sip_instances with value …..." Resolution To work around this compilation error, manually remove the QHIP_IP_PROPERTY assignment from the .qip file in the Design Example folder. Steps: Navigate to the following path in the Design Example directory: intel_jesd204b_gts_<data path>/example_design/ed_synth/ip/jesd_gts_ss<data path>/jesd_gts_ss_<data path>intel_jesd<data path>/ Open the QIP file: jesd_gts_ss_<data path>intel_jesd<data path>.qip Locate and remove the line containing the QHIP_IP_PROPERTY assignment. Save the file and retry the compilation. This issue is fixed in Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Design Software Version 25.3.1.22Views0likes0CommentsWhy are Toolkit instances (ETK, TTK) not detected for Agilex® 7 F-Tile Ethernet Hard IP in System-console after device configuration?
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.

Description The issue occurs when using ModelSim®–Altera FPGA to simulate the Agilex® 7 CPRI PHY IP Example Design on a Windows (64-bit) system. This problem does not occur when running the same simulation on a Linux system. Resolution To work around this problem: Create a new folder called temp under example testbench.
