Why does the transceiver E-Tile Native PHY IP Embedded Streamer hang when performing transceiver dynamic reconfiguration on Intel Stratix 10 TX, DX, and MX devices?

To work around this problem you can generate your Intel Stratix 10 device E-Tile Native PHY IP using the Linux version of the Intel Quartus Prime software.

Alternatively you can edit the final word of the transceiver configuration file in the following location.

..\<phy_name>\altera_xcvr_native_s10_htile_<quartus_version>\synth\ alt_xcvr_native_rcfg_strm_params_<random_string>.sv file

For example:

..\LH_PHYDxUSR0_x1\altera_xcvr_native_s10_htile_1921\synth\alt_xcvr_native_rcfg_strm_params_df5ou5a.sv

Edit the file so that the most significant non-zero nibble is “7” hex.

For example:

Change the final word from 27'h000FFFFFF to 27'h007FFFFFF

Or change the final word from 35'h0FFFFFFFF to 35'h7FFFFFFFF

This problem is fixed in the Intel Quartus Prime software version 20.2.
