3.2. SmartVID Error Message Bits

The SmartVID error message bits store the error message when the Agilex™ 7 detects an error in the external voltage regulator.

The SmartVID error message contains information about the type of error and the specific error details. You can retrieve the contents of the error message from the generic_sdm_data_out signal of the Advanced SEU Detection Intel® FPGA IP.

  • Remaining values—reserved
Note: When a SmartVID error occurs, Altera recommends that you check the integrity of the SmartVID signals and the voltage regulator on board.
