Why is the interrupt signal on 16550 Compatible UART Intel® FPGA IP asserted right after reset releases?

Environment

  • Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition
  • 16550 Compatible UART Intel® FPGA IP
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
    Description

    Due to a problem with Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition Software version 21.1 and 21.1.1,  ier_dlh Interrupt signals on 16550 Compatible UART Intel® FPGA IP are asserted right after reset releases.

     

     

    Resolution

    To work around this problem, there are two options:

    1. Use Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition Software version 22.1 or later versions because the problem has been fixed in Intel® Quartus® Prime Standard Edition Software version 22.1.

    2. Read rbr_thr_dll register, then the interrupt signal will be cleared.
