DisplayPort Sink General Register Bit Corrupted for RX Maximum Lane Counts Less Than 4

Environment

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

Critical Issue

Description

The DisplayPort sink general register address 0x0001 (DPRX_RX_STATUS) corrupts when you configure the RX maximum lane count (RX_MAX_LANE_COUNT) to 2 or 1.

DPRX_RX_STATUS definition:

  • Bit16: SYNC_LOSS
  • Bit7: SYM_LOCK Lane3
  • Bit6: SYM_LOCK Lane2
  • Bit5: SYM_LOCK Lane1
  • Bit4: SYM_LOCK Lane0
  • Bit3: CR_DONE Lane3
  • Bit2: CR_DONE Lane2
  • Bit1: CR_DONE Lane1
  • Bit0: CR_DONE Lane0

However, when you configure the RX maximum lane count to 2 or 1, the register bit definition is shifted.

This issue causes the RX core to fail link training in AUX_GPU mode because the software API fails to detect SYM_LOCK due to the shift in the bits.

Resolution

To work around this issue, set the software API to detect the shifted DPRX_RX_STATUS definition:

If RX_MAX_LANE_COUNT = 4 (follow the standard definition)

  • Bit16: SYNC_LOSS
  • Bit7: SYM_LOCK Lane3
  • Bit6: SYM_LOCK Lane2
  • Bit5: SYM_LOCK Lane1
  • Bit4: SYM_LOCK Lane0
  • Bit3: CR_DONE Lane3
  • Bit2: CR_DONE Lane2
  • Bit1: CR_DONE Lane1
  • Bit0: CR_DONE Lane0

If RX_MAX_LANE_COUNT = 2

  • Bit12: SYNC_LOSS
  • Bit3: SYM_LOCK Lane1
  • Bit2: SYM_LOCK Lane0
  • Bit1: CR_DONE Lane1
  • Bit0: CR_DONE Lane0

If RX_MAX_LANE_COUNT = 1

  • Bit10: SYNC_LOSS
  • Bit1: SYM_LOCK Lane0
  • Bit0: CR_DONE Lane0

This issue is fixed in version 16.0 Update 1 of the DisplayPort IP core.
