The HDMI Intel® FPGA IP operating in RX HDMI 2.1 mode does not support FRL rate change initiated by source without hotplug.

Environment

  • Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition
  • HDMI Intel® FPGA IP
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT

    Critical Issue

    Description

    When a HDMI 2.1 source initiates FRL rate change without hotplug, the HDMI Intel® 2.1 sink cannot link train successfully. This is because HDMI Intel® sink configures the link training pattern to 0x5678 upon a hotplug event or reset.

    Resolution

    To work around this problem in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro software version 20.4 and earlier, manually hotplug or toggle the 5V detect on the HDMI Intel® FPGA IP sink when the HDMI 2.1 source writes a new FRL rate without hotplug.

    This problem is fixed starting from version 21.1 of the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software.
