Why does the RapidIO II IP Core transmit when TX digital reset is asserted?

Environment

  • Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition
  • RapidIO II (IDLE2 up to 6.25 Gbaud) Intel® FPGA IP
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT

    Critical Issue

    Description

    Due to a bug in the RapidIO II IP Core, the transceiver can start transmitting 0xBC characters before TX Digital Reset (tx_digitalreset on Arria® 10, or tx_digitalreset_stat on Stratix® 10) has been de-asserted.

    This can cause some link partners to incorrectly detect IDLE1 sequence. The detection of IDLE1 sequence is a defined implementation.

    Note that RapidIO II IP Core uses IDLE2 sequence.

     

    Resolution

    This problem has been fixed starting in software version 17.0 of the RapidIO II IP core.
