Why don’t I see transceiver simplex PHY instances in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software Transceiver Toolkit when using the Cyclone® 10 GX FPGA, Arria® 10 FPGAs, or Stratix® 10 L or H-Tile FPGA devices?

Environment

    Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition
    DisplayPort
    HDMI
    JESD
    L-Tile H-Tile Transceiver Native PHY Intel® Stratix® 10 FPGA IP
    Low Latency PHY Intel® FPGA IP
    Transceiver Native PHY Intel® Arria® 10 Cyclone® 10 FPGA IP
BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

Due to a bug in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software v21.3 and earlier, you might not see transceiver PHY simplex instances in the Transceiver Toolkit when using Cyclone® 10 GX FPGA, Arria® 10 FPGAs, or Stratix® 10 L or H-Tile FPGA devices.

 

This problem might occur if your Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software design contains only simplex transceiver PHY instances.

Resolution

To work around this problem, you can instantiate a dummy duplex transceiver PHY instance and ensure that the Transceiver Native PHY IP Debug Master Endpoint (NPDME) option is enabled.

 

This problem will be fixed in a future version of the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software.
