Can I use Intel Agilex® 7 FPGA I-Series, R-Tile I_PIN_PERST_N, and REFCLK_GXR dedicated Hard IP pins in my FPGA fabric design?

Environment

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

    No, you cannot use Intel Agilex® 7 FPGA I-Series, R-Tile I_PIN_PERST_N, and REFCLK_GXR dedicated Hard IP pins in your FPGA fabric design.

    The I_PIN_PERST_N_GXR and REFCLK_GXR[R,L][14A,14C,15A,15C]_CH[0,1]P/N dedicated pins connect only to the R-Tile Hard IP silicon. They do not connect to the FPGA fabric. If you try to use the R-Tile dedicated Hard IP pins in your FPGA fabric design using the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 21.2 and earlier, you might see the following internal error:

    Internal Error: Sub-system: PTI, File: /quartus/tsm/pti/pti_tdb_builder.cpp, Line: 1357

    IC edge from src atom FALCONMESA_IO_IBUF:OUT (Id: 2282, with associated RE_GID: None) to dst atom FALCONMESA_FF:ACLR (Id: 610, with associated RE_GID: 4294967295) has zero delay when not expected and is not routed (edge from src 22292 <signal_name> to dst 14055 <user_signal_name>)

     

    Internal Error: Sub-system: PTI, File: /quartus/tsm/pti/pti_tdb_builder.cpp, Line: 1357

    IC edge from src atom FALCONMESA_IO_IBUF:OUT (Id: 2268, with associated RE_GID: None) to dst atom NADDER_LCELL_COMB:DATAF (Id: 2342, with associated RE_GID: 4294967295) has zero delay when not expected and is not routed (edge from src 22145 <user_signal_name> to dst 22200 <user_signal_name>)

    Resolution

    To fix this problem, disconnect your FPGA fabric design from the I_PIN_PERST_N_GXR and REFCLK_GXR[R,L][14A,14C,15A,15C]_CH[0,1]P/N pins.
