Environment

    Quartus® II Subscription Edition
    Ethernet
BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT

Critical Issue

Description

Intermittent Ethernet link failure and data corruption occurs when the ’Enable SGMII bridge option’ is set to OFF (1000Base-X Mode) while running any Triple Speed Ethernet variant with a transceiver.

This issue affects all Stratix V, Arria V, and Cyclone V devices.

Resolution

Use an alternative 1000Base-X mode in a different IP variant:

Generate the Triple Speed Ethernet MegaCore with the ’Enable SGMII bridge option’ set to ON.

Configure the SGMII_ENA and USE_SGMII_AN bit to 0 in the PCS IF_Mode register.

This issue is fixed in version 12.0 of the Triple Speed Ethernet MegaCore function.
