2. DisplayPort Intel® FPGA IP Design Examples

The DisplayPort Intel® FPGA IP design example for Agilex™ 5 device demonstrates the functionality of the DisplayPort TX instance. Full SCT (Simulation, Compilation, and Timing) support is provided for both the RX and TX instances. However, note that the current Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 24.3 supports only the TX instance in hardware.

The DisplayPort Intel® FPGA IP TX-only design example demonstrates the DisplayPort source transmitting a fixed video resolution.

The DisplayPort Intel® FPGA IP RX-only design example demonstrates the DisplayPort sink receiving video frame from external sources.

Design Example Designation Data Rate Channel Mode Loopback Type
DisplayPort SST parallel loopback without PCR DisplayPort SST RBR, HBR, HBR2, HBR3, UHBR10, UHBR13.5
  • Duplex
  • Dual Simplex
Parallel without PCR
DisplayPort SST parallel loopback with AXIS Video Interface DisplayPort SST RBR, HBR, HBR2, HBR3, UHBR10, UHBR13.5
  • Duplex
  • Dual Simplex
Parallel with AXIS Video Interface
DisplayPort SST TX-only DisplayPort SST RBR, HBR, HBR2, HBR3, UHBR10, UHBR13.5 Simplex
DisplayPort SST RX-only DisplayPort SST RBR, HBR, HBR2, HBR3, UHBR10, UHBR13.5 Simplex
Note:
  • The Bitec Rev8 FMC can handle High Bit Rates (HBR) up to 8.1 Gbps as per DisplayPort 1.4 standards, while the native connectors on the Modular Development Kit support Ultra-High Bit Rates (UHBR) up to 13.5 Gbps. Always use the native connectors for designs targeting UHBR rates.
  • The Agilex 5E part transceivers operate up to 17G, which is why UHBR20 is not supported on Agilex 5E parts.
