Table 58.  v3.0.0 2020.07.10
Quartus® Prime Version Description Impact
20.2 The VirtIO feature has timing issues in this release of Quartus® Prime. Only compilation and simulation are supported for the VirtIO feature in this release.
The Eye Plot feature in the Debug Toolkit is only available for Channel 0. Eye Plot support for Channels other than Channel 0 may be available in a future release of Quartus® Prime.
The P-Tile Avalon® -ST and Avalon® -MM IPs for PCIe support the PCIe Link Inspector in this release. The PCIe Link Inspector allows you to monitor the PCIe link status at the Physical, Data Link and Transaction Layers.
The P-Tile Avalon® -ST IP adds Modelsim support for design example simulation in this release. The P-Tile Avalon® -ST IP can support Modelsim and VCS simulators in the 20.2 release of Quartus® Prime. The P-Tile Avalon® -MM IP still only supports VCS. Other simulators may be supported in a future release.
The independent pin_perst option is no longer available in the P-Tile Avalon® -ST IP in this release. When a x16 port is bifurcated into two x8 ports, a reset via pin_perst impacts both x8 ports.
The P-Tile Avalon® -MM IP for PCIe does not support 10-bit tags for the x16 core in this release. The x16 core of the P-Tile Avalon® -MM IP for PCIe only supports up to 64 outstanding Non-Posted Requests (NPRs) in this release.
The Root Port (RP) BFM for Endpoint configurations is not available in this release. It may be available in a future release. Use a third-party BFM to simulate the P-Tile Root Port design examples.
Configurations with the Adapter enabled are not available in this release. Gen4 x8, 512-bit and Gen4 x4 256-bit configurations are not available in this release.
You cannot change the PCIe SerDes pin allocations for the P-Tile Avalon® -ST and Avalon® -MM IPs for PCIe in the Quartus® Prime project. To ease PCB routing, you can take advantage of the lane reversal and polarity inversion features supported by the P-Tile Avalon® -ST and Avalon® -MM IPs for PCIe.
