Why does the F-Tile Global Avalon® Memory-Mapped Interface Intel FPGA IP no longer work?

Environment

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

    The F-Tile Global Avalon® Memory-Mapped Interface Intel FPGA IP has been retired, starting the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 23.2 and onwards. If you instantiated the F-Tile Global Avalon Memory-Mapped Interface Intel FPGA IP in an old Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version design. You will observe the following warning message when you upgrade it to 23.2 or newer version:

    "Critical warning: F-Tile Global Avalon Memory-Mapped Interface IP will be retired with Quartus release 23.2. If you are not using the F-Tile Global Avalon Memory-Mapped Interface IP and have F-Tile Auto-Negotiation and Link Training For Ethernet Intel FPGA IP instantiated in your design, please ignore this warning and refer to the F-Tile Global Avalon Memory-Mapped Interface KDB for more details. Otherwise, update your design implementation to use the local Avalon Memory-Mapped Interface Access."

    Resolution

    To fix this critical warning problem, you need to 

    • Either using the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 23.1 and earlier,
    • Or delete the F-Tile Global Avalon Memory-Mapped Interface Intel FPGA IP from your design and use the local Avalon Memory-Mapped Interface Access, for example:
      • In F-Tile PMA/FEC Direct PHY Intel® FPGA IP, you can use Data Path Avalon Memory Mapped Interface and PMA Avalon Memory Mapped Interface
      • In F-Tile  Ethernet Intel® FPGA Hard IP, you can use an Ethernet reconfiguration interface and a Transceiver reconfiguration interface.
