Why does the Multi Channel DMA FPGA IP for PCI Express* of H-Tile significantly drop packets when running the Avalon®-ST Packet Generate/Check Design Example?

Environment

    Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition

CentOS 8

BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
Description

Due to a problem in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 24.1 and earlier, you might observe that TLP packets are dropped significantly when running the Avalon®-ST Packet Generate/Check Design Example of Multi Channel DMA FPGA IP for PCI Express*  for H-Tile if the payload size is set as 64/128 bytes per descriptor.

 

 

Resolution

To work around this problem, set the payload size larger than 128 bytes for DMA transfer in the command when running the test, as follows for the -p option.

./perfq_app -b 0000:98:00.0 -p 256 -d 1 -c 8 -a 8 -l 25 -z -n
