Critical Issue
The GTS PMA/FEC Direct PHY Altera® IP version 5.0.0 generated with version 24.2 is not auto upgrading to IP version 6.0.0 in 24.3 due to the changes in IP parameter values.
To upgrade the GTS PMA/FEC Direct PHY Altera® IP version 5.0.0 generated with version 24.2 to version 6.0.0 of the IP in Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 24.3, you need to manually upgrade the IP, enable custom PCS, select a valid value for the custom PCS interface, and then regenerate the IP.
The table below shows the changes in parameter value for IP version 6.0.0.
