There is a problem with the F-Tile Serial Lite IV Toolkit. Internal serial loopback enablement is unsuccessful and outputs an incorrect register value when performing Link Initialization. It's because we internally changed to demo_jtag when checking the tx_pll_locked and rx_cdr_locked status during the system-reset proc, but didn't change it back to phy_jtag when completed.
To work around this problem, you need to follow the steps below:
- Click "Assert system Reset"
- Click "Deassert system Reset"
- Go to GUI Configuration tab and set JTAG to phy_jtag_m.master
- Click "Link Initialization"
This has been fixed in Quartus® Prime Pro 24.3.
