Why isn’t there any PLLs usage if I compile the project with the Intel® Stratix® 10 FPGA E-tile transceiver channels ?

Environment

    Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition
BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

This is an expected behaviour.  You will see "Total PLLs" usage is 0 if you only instantiate Intel® Stratix® 10 FPGA E-tile transceiver channels in the design. The Intel® Stratix® 10 FPGA E-tile transceiver channel phase-locked loop (PLL) would not be counted in the total PLLs summary. 

For example, if you use Intel® Stratix® 10 device 1ST280EY2F55, and instantiate four E-tile transceiver channels. After compilation, you will still see the “Total PLLs  0/64(0%)” in the flow summary of the compilation report.

 

Resolution

All PLLs shown in the compilation report are contributed by the Intel® Stratix® 10 IOPLL and H-tile transceiver PLLs. For Intel® Stratix® 10 device 1ST280EY2F55, the total 64 PLLs consist of 24xIOPLLs, 8xfPLLs of H-tile, 8xATX PLLs of H-tile transceiver, and 24 CDR PLLs of H-tile transceiver. Intel® Stratix® 10 FPGA E-tile transceiver channel PLLs are not counted.
