Resolved Issues

Table 5.  Issues Resolved from 1.1 Beta to 1.1 Production in the Intel Acceleration Stack Software
Area Description
Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP) cables. If you hot swap QSFP cables, the sensors are now able to read temperature and voltage accurately. You must update the BMC firmware to version 26822 to inherit this fix. Refer to the Intel® Acceleration Stack Quick Start Guide for Intel® Programmable Acceleration Card with Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA for steps on how to update the firmware.
Part Numbering in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition design example. The Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition design example now uses the correct Intel® PAC with Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA part number: 10AX115N2F40E2LG.
Table 6.  Issues Resolved from 1.0 Production to 1.1 Production in the Intel Acceleration Stack Software
Area Description
The Intel® FPGA Dynamic Profiler Tool for OpenCL* The graphical user interface (GUI) of the tool now reports correct frequency and bandwidth.
fpgainfo and fpgabist Tool The fpgainfo tool no longer raises a UnicodeEncodeError when the Python* interpreter cannot determine what encoding to use. This issue typically occurred when redirecting or piping output on previous versions of the Intel® Acceleration Stack. The fpgabist was also impacted.
AFU Sample Code You can now read valid values from af2cp_sTxPort.c1.hdr.rsvd2[5:4] when simulating the hello_intr_afu sample code.
