About the System PLL in Agilex 5
Regarding the System PLL in Agilex 5, the reference clock input can be supplied not only from the dedicated transceiver input pins but also from HVIO pins. However, when assigning the pins, the following Critical Warning occurs. Critical Warning(24190): User has specified a QSF location assignment to drive XPIN_GTS_CLK[0] using PIN_BK19. The PIN_BK19 is on HVIO bank and is not optimal for HSSI PLL refclk usage. Try to use the HSSI native local/global refclk IO instead. Additionally, this HVIO location assignment could cause the Reset Sequencer to be placed into a invalid shoreline. To avoid this, besides the PLL refclk, you must also specify location assignment for the UX native refclk. Is the operation acceptable, and what are the jitter characteristics? Also, are there specific ways to address the Critical Warning?24Views1like0CommentsClarification on TX/RX P&N Invert feature support in TSE IP core
Hello, Based on the page below from the GTS Transceiver PHY User Guide: Agilex™ 5 FPGAs and SoCs (version 25.1, “Analog Parameter Options” section), the “Enable TX P&N Invert” and “Enable RX P&N Invert” options are described as preliminary and not supported in hardware: 3.3.11. Analog Parameter Options However, according to the updated page for version 25.1.1, those same features are now marked as supported in hardware: 3.3.11. Analog Parameter Options In the Analog Parameters tab of the Triple-Speed Ethernet (TSE) Intel FPGA IP, these TX/RX P&N Invert options also appear as configurable parameters. Could you please confirm whether these features are expected to function in Quartus Prime Pro 25.1.1 and Quartus Prime Pro 25.3 when used in the TSE IP core? Also, could you please let us know what happens if we enable these P/N inversion options in Quartus 25.1, since the documentation indicates that they are not supported in hardware in that release? Thank you in advance for your help and clarification. Best regards,Solved111Views1like8Comments
