2.2. Analog Parameters Settings

For Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 23.2 and earlier versions, F-tile transceiver analog parameters are set through Intel Quartus Prime software settings file (.qsf).

From Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 23.3 onwards, a GUI based mechanism is implemented to set the analog parameters of F-tile transceivers. The figures below show the FGT and FHT Analog Parameters Tab.

Figure 8. Analog Parameters Tab for FHT

When you are using the development kit, the default analog value may not match your hardware setup. It is recommended that you use the following settings when generating example design for Intel Agilex 7 FPGA I-Series Transceiver-SoC Development Kit.
