1.16. P-Tile IP for PCI Express IP Cores v3.1.0

IP versions are the same as the Quartus® Prime Design Suite software versions up to v19.1. From Quartus® Prime Design Suite software version 19.2 or later, IPs have a new IP versioning scheme.

The IP version (X.Y.Z) number may change from one Quartus® Prime software version to another. A change in:
  • X indicates a major revision of the IP. If you update your Quartus® Prime software, you must regenerate the IP.
  • Y indicates the IP includes new features. Regenerate your IP to include these new features.
  • Z indicates the IP includes minor changes. Regenerate your IP to include these changes.

Quartus® Prime Version Description Impact
20.3 The BFM for Endpoint mode simulations is not available in this release. It may be available in a future release. Use a third-party BFM for Endpoint mode simulations.
For the P-Tile Avalon Streaming IP, configurations with the Adapter enabled are not available in this release. For the P-Tile Avalon Streaming IP, Gen4 x8 512-bit and Gen4 x4 256-bit configurations are not available in this release.
The Parameter Editor of the P-Tile Avalon Streaming IP indicates support for a 125 MHz application clock frequency in some configurations of the IP. However, this frequency is not supported. If selected, the IP is generated using a 250 MHz application clock.
