1.7. Multi Channel DMA IP for PCI Express : IP Core [H-Tile: v23.0.0] [P-Tile: v7.0.0] [F-Tile: v7.0.0] [R-Tile: v4.0.0]
| Quartus® Prime Version | Description | Impact | 
|---|---|---|
| 23.3 | Fixed stability netdev_app tool issues on Network Device Driver with PIO bypass mode test. | netdev_app won't see instability issues on PIO bypass mode test. | 
| R-Tile MCDMA IP added support for Configuration via Protocol (CVP) flow for a single tile only. | You can configure the FPGA using CVP flows. | |
| Added support for PIPE Mode Simulation for R-Tile MCDMA IP only. | When enabled, the R-Tile MCDMA IP exposes PIPE interface. This interface is used to connect a BFM with PIPE interface support and improve the overall simulation time. | |
| Added Design Example simulation support for R-Tile PIO with MCDMA Bypass Mode in Xcelium* , QuestaSim* and Questa* Intel® FPGA Edition. | You can only simulate PIO using MCDMA Bypass Mode with all supported User Modes up to Gen5 x8 link in the Agilex™ 7 I-Series FPGA devices using R-Tile. | |
| 
          Added a new Hard IP Modes and PLD clock frequencies support for R-Tile MCDMA IP: 
           
 | You can implement Gen5 4x4 link in the Agilex™ 7 FPGA devices using R-Tile MCDMA IP. | |
| Removed pld_warm_rst_rdy and link_req_rst_n interfaces from R-Tile MCDMA IP. | These internal interfaces were exported only when Export pld_warm_rst_rdy and link_req_rst_n interface to top level parameter selected. This IP parameter is not available on the R-Tile MCDMA IP. | |
| Software directory is created multiple times depending on the number of Hard IP ports selected. pX_software folder where X = 0, 1, 2, 3. | Software folder is specific to the example design and IP port. You must use the corresponding software folder with each IP port. | |
| Added support to request memory PIO read and write with custom driver. | You can read and write from PIO address range in bar 2 from any valid custom memory. | |
| Fixed MCDMA Custom Driver issue for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS operating system when Virtual Function I/O (VFIO) kernel mode and MSIX mode are set. | You can use it with VFIO kernel and MSIX mode. | |
| Added Analog Parameters tab in the IP Parameter Editor for F-Tile MCDMA IP to enable transceiver analog settings for low loss PCIe design. | You should only enable this parameter for chip to chip PCIe design with F-Tile to ensure good link quality. |
