Why does Platform Designer not terminate the SystemVerilog interface input ports when using the TERMINATION port property?

Environment

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

    Due to a problem in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software v21.4 and earlier, the HDL code generated by Platform Designer is incorrect when a SystemVerilog HDL interface input port is terminated.

     

    For example, when the following settings are applied:

     

          add_interface_port avalon_slave address address input 10

          set_port_property address TERMINATION true

          set_port_property address TERMINATION_VALUE 0xFFFFF

     

    Platform Designer will generate the incorrect HDL code:

     

            my_ip my_ip_0 (

                    .bus     (my_ip_0_bus),   

                    .address (10'b1111111111)

            );

            assign readdata = my_ip_0_bus.readdata;

            assign my_ip_0_bus.address = address;

            assign my_ip_0_bus.write = write;

            assign my_ip_0_bus.writedata = writedata;

    Resolution

    To work around this problem, manually edit the generated HDL file (found under the <my_ip>/synth/<my_ip>.v):

      

            my_ip my_ip_0 (

                    .bus     (my_ip_0_bus),   

                    .address (10'b1111111111)

            );

            assign readdata = my_ip_0_bus.readdata;

            assign my_ip_0_bus.address = address;

            assign my_ip_0_bus.write = write;

            assign my_ip_0_bus.writedata = writedata;

            assign address = 10'b1111111111;

    This problem is fixed beginning with the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software version 22.1.
