Cyclone 10 GX Startup Time Support
I have been utilizing Cyclone 10 GX (10CX105YF672E6G) FPGA for some time but now I require the FPGA to startup and run as fast as possible, I know there is a hard limit caused by flash communications or power sequencing, but I would like to know if there is anyway I could cut the startup time further, each 1ms would cause a difference, so if there are any documented or undocumented workarounds or tricks that could support this it would be fantastic.
M67981 supplemental mechanical information
Hello, We are working on a design using an Agilex7, but the mechanical drawing for the part (M67981) is insufficient for us to have confidence we have gotten the ball positions correct. In this instance can you provide either a supplemental information with additional dimensions or a 3D model to cross check to? Ben Strawbridge
PCIe not working (no enumeration) Agilex™ 5 FPGA E-Series 065B Modular Development Kit
Hello, I recently got this dev board, and I was trying to load the PCIe example design up on the board however it seems that it is not working, as it fails to enumerate! I followed the instructions on the PDF guide, and I also have my switches set correctly, however it is not working unfortunately! I assume that its an issue with the MAX 10 file, however the only other one I found on the forum is incompatible with my board! I also have the switches set correctly (SW13.1 ON), but any idea or thing helps! Thanks in advance for the help!
FFVH-ICS-0923-00（1SM21BHU2F53E2VGNE）failed at ESS-HOT test
Hi, There was one piece FFVH-ICS-0923-00（1SM21BHU2F53E2VGNE）failed at ESS-Hot test(at 45 Celsius) and the failure item is HIGH ATSE2CPU Results. I have contacted with the supplier Arrow, but they insisted that we need to contact with Altera directly. We want to return this unit, pls. help to check and confirm back with RMA#. The date code of this unit is 2431， and I have attached the shortcut of the two test results of swapping to two FG for verification for your reference.
Agilex 7 R-Tile RBES FPGA – CXL Device Enumeration Failure with CXL IP Design Example
1. What is the failure symptom? Please elaborate on the failure symptoms in detail. The CXL device fails to enumerate when using the CXL Type-3 IP design example. • lspci -vvv | grep 0ddb does not detect the CXL device • numactl -H does not report a CXL NUMA node The issue persists across multiple system reboots and bitstream rebuilds. A factory reset was attempted but did not resolve the issue. 2. When did the failure happen? When did you buy the part, and when did you receive it? The device failed at some point around October 2025. 3. How did you discover the failure? Please describe it in detail. We found OS failed to find the CXL device and confirmed the issue after factory recovery. 4. In which part of your process did you find the issue (Lab, production, quality, etc.)? Lab environment.4.1 Was the device already in the field? How many times has it been used? No. The device has only been used in a controlled lab environment for bring-up and testing. 5. How many units failed and how many units were used/tested by you? Which is the production code? • Failed units: 1 • Units tested: Multiple Agilex FPGA boards • Production code: Not available Only this unit exhibits the failure. 6. How did you determine the failure? Please elaborate on the procedures. Multiple bring-up attempts were conducted using known-good hardware, software, and bitstreams. • 6.1 Internal Debug: No internal physical failure analysis was performed. • 6.2 Device Swap: Yes. Replacing the board with a known-good FPGA resolves the issue. 7. Was the failing unit ever working before the failure? Yes. The device was functioning correctly before the failure. 8. How did you rule out electrical overstress (EOS) or electrostatic discharge (ESD)? There is no visible physical damage on the FPGA or PCB. The board has been handled according to standard ESD-safe lab procedures. 9. What are your expectations from this failure analysis? Identify the root cause of the failure and restore proper CXL IP functionality, or provide a replacement device. 10. Have you re-balled your device? If yes, was it lead-free reballing? No. The device has not been re-balled, and no third-party rework was performed. 11. Please add pictures of the device from the top and the bottom. See attached. 12. Is there any other relevant information that could assist in the failure analysis? No additional information at this time. 13. Are there any known changes to the process, materials, or design that could have contributed to the failure? No.Agilex 7 R-Tile RBES FPGA – Board Fails to Power On and JTAG Not Detected
1. What is the failure symptom? Please elaborate on the failure symptoms in detail. The FPGA power LED does not turn on, and Quartus fails to detect the JTAG interface. Debugging steps performed: • Board Test System (BTS) attempted • JTAG detection fails in BTS as well A factory reset was attempted but did not resolve the issue. 2. When did the failure happen? When did you buy the part, and when did you receive it? The failure occurred around early August 2025. The device was received approximately one year ago. 3. How did you discover the failure? Please describe it in detail. Quartus failed to detect the JTAG device, and the FPGA power LED was observed to remain off. 4. In which part of your process did you find the issue (Lab, production, quality, etc.)? Lab environment. 4.1 Was the device already in the field? How many times has it been used? No. The device has only been used in a controlled lab environment for bring-up and testing. 5. How many units failed and how many units were used/tested by you?

Agilex 3 ESD Protection
What is the ESD rating for A3CZ100BM16AE7S I/O pins (and HSIO true differential pins if they are different)? Do they require external ESD protection, and if so, are there any guidelines on selection of an appropriate device? I intend to use some of the true differential receiver/transmitters for LVDS comms on a 1.3V bank, and found the information shown below about maximum ratings and maximum overshoots implying the maximum voltage on those pins can't exceed ~1.75V, but finding an ESD diode which doesn't breakdown at 1.3V, and clamps before 1.75V is an impossible task, so what is an acceptable clamping voltage?
