Are there any problems in the ASMI Parallel II Intel® FPGA IP User Guide?

Environment

    Intel® Quartus® Prime Design Software
BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

Yes. There are some incorrect port names, an incorrect note, and some missing ports.

(1) There are the following ports in Figure 1 and Table 2:

  • qspi_dataout (Figure 1) , fqspi_dataout (Table 2)
  • qspi_dclk
  • qspi_scein
  • avl_csr_addr
  • avl_csr_rddata   
  • avl_csr_rddata_valid 
  • avl_mem_addr
  • avl_mem_rddata_valid 
  • avl_mem_byteenble    

But these are incorrect.  The correct port names are as follows:

  • qspi_pins_data
  • qspi_pins_dclk
  • qspi_pins_ncs
  • avl_csr_address       
  • avl_csr_readdata      
  • avl_csr_readdatavalid 
  • avl_mem_address       
  • avl_mem_readdatavalid 
  • avl_mem_byteenable    

(2) There is note 3 for Conduit Interface in Table 2, which says, "Available when you enable the Disable dedicated Active Serial interface parameter."
But it is incorrect.  The correct description is "Available when you enable the Enable SPI pins interface parameter."

(3) There are the following missing ports in Table 2:

SignalWidthDirectionDescription
atom_ports_dclk1OutputConnects to dclk of ASMI Block
atom_ports_ncs 1 ~ 3OutputConnects sce of ASMI Block
atom_ports_oe1OutputConnects to oe of ASMI Block
atom_ports_dataout 4OutputThe atom_ports_dataout outputs the data to the AS data pin through the ASMI Block.

For Intel® Arria® 10, Intel® Cyclone® 10 GX, Arria® V, Arria® V GZ, Cyclone® V, and Stratix® V, connects atom_ports_dataout[0:3] to data0out, data1out, data2out, data3out of ASMI Block.

For Intel® Cyclone® 10 LP, Cyclone®IV GX, Cyclone®IV E, Stratix® IV, Arria® II, Arria® II GZ, connects atom_ports_dataout[0] to sdoin of ASMI Block.
atom_ports_dataoe4OutputConnects atom_ports_dataoe[0:3] to data0oe, data1oe, data2oe, data3oe of ASMI Block
atom_ports_datain4InputThe atom_ports_datain receives the data from the AS data pin through the ASMI Block.

For Intel® Arria® 10, Cyclone®10 GX, Arria® V, Arria® V GZ, Cyclone® V, and Stratix® V, connects atom_ports_datain[0:3] to data0in, data1in, data2in, data3in of ASMI Block.

For Intel® Cyclone® 10 LP, Cyclone® IV GX, Cyclone® IV E, Stratix® IV, Arria® II, Arria® II GZ, connects atom_ports_datain[1] to data0out of ASMI Block.
Resolution

These ports are available when you enable the Disable dedicated Active Serial interface parameter.
