Why does the FIR II Intel® FPGA IP use fewer DSP Blocks than the number shown in the resource estimation section of the IP GUI?

Environment

  • Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition
  • Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition
  • FIR II Intel® FPGA IP
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
    Description

    The string "Number of DSPs" under Resource Estimation in the FIR II Intel® FPGA IP GUI is inaccurate. It should be the "Number of 18 x 18 multipliers". 

    This results in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software Fitter reporting fewer DSP Blocks used than the estimation. 

     

     

    Resolution

    No workaround is needed.

    This problem is scheduled to be fixed in a future release of the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software.
