Why is the simulation result of the "demo_cfr" in the DSP Builder for FPGAs incorrect?
Description Due to a problem with the DSP Builder for FPGAs in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software v20.4, the .mdl simulink file only works for one specific device/speedgrade/clock target combination. The simulation results will be wrong with other combinations. Resolution To workaround this problem, replace the old .mdl simulink file in demo_cfr with the new demo_cfr.mdl file.21Views0likes0CommentsWhy does the GTS AXI Streaming IP for PCI Express* design example for Agilex™ 5 FPGAs fail to operate and enumerate in hardware when loaded from QSPI on the Agilex™ 5 FPGA E-Series 065B Modular Development Kit (MK-A5E065BB32AES1)?
Description Due to a problem in the MAX® 10 FPGAs' power sequence, the SYSPLL input clock is not stable before the configuration process of the Agilex™ 5 FPGAs. You may observe that the Agilex™ 5 FPGA GTS PCIe AXI Streaming design example fails to operate and enumerate in hardware when loaded from QSPI on the Agilex™ 5 FPGA E-Series 065B Modular Development Kit (MK-A5E065BB32AES1). Resolution You may download the updated POF file for MAX® 10 FPGAs (max10-output-file-1-b.pof), follow the steps below to program the MAX® 10 FPGAs POF file with a USB Micro cable: Set Switch S13-3 to "OFF" and plug in the USB Micro cable between the Dev Kit and the PC.

Description Due to a problem in the Quartus® Prime Standard Edition Software version 24.1, the Nios® V/g processor might return inaccurate floating-point calculation results when the Floating-Point Unit (FPU) is enabled. This problem is found in Max® 10 FPGA devices only. Other Altera® FPGA devices are not affected. This is because there is a problem in the FPU module, which generates spurious signals affecting the calculation results.

Description Due to a problem in the: Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 23.1, 23.2, 23.3, 23.4, 24.1, 24.2, 24.3, 24.3.1, 25.1 Quartus® Prime Standard Edition Software version 23.1, 24.1 The Nios® V/g processor still caches the peripherals if they are placed under a Peripheral Region that is configured to 2GB, regardless of the Base Address. This is due to a problem in the processor RTL failing to correctly implement the 2GB Peripheral Region. Other Peripheral Region sizes are not affected; only 2GB is affected. Resolution To work around this problem, please select other Peripheral Region sizes except 2GB. The Nios® V/g processor still offers Peripheral Region sizes ranging from 64KB to 1GB. The 2GB Size option for Nios® V/g processor Peripheral Region is removed beginning with the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 25.1.1 and Quartus® Prime Standard Edition Software version 25.1.
