Due to a problem in the Intel® Stratix® 10 E-Tile Native PHY IP version 18.1 Update 1, the PMA adaptation parameters are only loaded to the first channel of a given instance.
To work around this problem in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 18.1 Update 1, follow the steps below:
1. Obtain the physical address of Channel 0 (base address of 0x0):
0x200[7:0]: 8’h00
0x201[7:0]: 8’h00
0x202[7:0]: 8’h00
0x203[7:0]: 8’h97
2. Copy to other channels (base address of 0x80000 for Channel 1, 0x100000 for Channel 2, etc.):
0x200[7:0]: 8’hADDR
0x201[7:0]: 8’h00
0x202[7:0]: 8’h00
0x203[7:0]: 8’h95
Where ADDR is the physical address of Channel 0 returned in 0x204 from the first set of register writes.
Please refer to the Intel® Stratix® 10 E-Tile Transceiver PHY User Guide, "Configuring a PMA Parameter Using Native PHY IP" chapter for more information regarding PMA Adaptation Parameters within the Native PHY IP Core GUI."
This problem is fixed in Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 19.2.
