Why does the JESD204C Intel® FPGA IP TX output port j204c_tx_avst_ready remain low when configured in Subclass 1 mode with CSR optimization parameter enabled?

Environment

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

    Due to a known problem in Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 21.1 and earlier, when the JESD204C Intel® FPGA IP is used in TX mode in Intel® Stratix® 10 FPGA or Intel Agilex® 7 devices and is configured to Subclass 1 mode with CSR Optimization enabled, the Avalon-ST signal j204c_tx_avst_ready stays low forever.

    This problem does not affect either Subclass 0 variants with CSR Optimization enabled or Subclass 1 variants with CSR Optimization disabled.

    Resolution

    There is no workaround for this problem.

    To avoid this issue, do not use the CSR Optimization feature in Subclass 1 mode.

    This problem is fixed starting with the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 21.2.
