Table 1.   Intel® IP Core Device Support Levels

Device Support Level

Definition

Preliminary

The IP core is verified with preliminary timing models for this device family. The IP core meets all functional requirements, but might still be undergoing timing analysis for the device family. It can be used in production designs with caution.

Final

The IP core is verified with final timing models for this device family. The IP core meets all functional and timing requirements for the device family and can be used in production designs.

Table 2.   25G Ethernet Intel® FPGA IP 50G Ethernet IP Core Device Family SupportShows the level of support offered by the 50GbE core for each Intel® device family.
