Why does the JESD204C Intel® FPGA IP Example Design intermittently fail to operate correctly when performing repetitive resets tests in Intel® Stratix® 10 MX, Intel® Stratix® 10 TX or Intel Agilex® devices?

Environment

  • Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition
  • JESD204B Intel® FPGA IP
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
    Description

    Due to a problem in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition 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® 7 devices.

    This is due to the possibility of sporadically triggering a short assertion of RX gearbox FIFO RD EMPTY during repetitive resets test.

    Resolution

    To avoid failure, it is recommended to delay the 1st FIFO read operation to give an extra link clock cycle of protection to FIFO RD EMPTY.

    A patch is also available to fix this problem for the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software versions 19.2, 19.3, 19.4, and 20.1.
