Scan Manager Present Yes No No No

The HPS scan manager is supported only in the Cyclone® V SoC and Arria® V SoC device families. The HPS I/O pins are configured through a series of scan chains in the Cyclone® V and Arria® V SoCs.

In contrast, in the Arria® 10 SoC, Stratix® 10 SoC, Agilex™ 7 SoC, Agilex™ 5 SoC, and Agilex™ 3 SoC, the HPS I/O pins are configured in the FPGA bitstream. There is no separate block to configure HPS I/O in Arria® 10 SoC, Stratix® 10 SoC, Agilex™ 7 SoC, Agilex™ 5 SoC, and Agilex™ 3 SoC.
