Due to a problem in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro software versions 19.2 to 20.1, the JESD204C Intel® FPGA IP Example Design may intermittently fail to operate correctly when performing repetitive resets tests, when using Intel® Stratix® 10 TX, Intel® Stratix® 10 MX or Intel® Agilex™ devices.
This is due to the possibility of sporadically triggering a short assertion of RX gearbox FIFO RD EMPTY during repetitive resets test.
To avoid the failure, it is recommended to delay the 1st FIFO read operation in order to give an extra link clock cycle of protection to FIFO RD EMPTY.
