1.9. Altera® FPGA SDM Firmware

Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Version 25.1 includes new SDM firmware features as well as fixes.

When regenerating your configuration bitstream, use the latest version of the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software, which includes the latest firmware. You do not need to recompile your .sof to use the firmware from a newer version of the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software. You can regenerate your configuration bitstream with the new version of the Programming File Generator.

Intermittent incorrect readings with GET_TEMPERATURE command for Mailbox Client IP. When sending continuous GET_TEMPERATURE commands using the Mailbox Client IP, readings may become skewed, resulting in incorrect values. If this issue occurs, it can only be resolved by reconfiguring the device. Configuration N/A N/A
Issues with PERST assertion detection. The fix includes firmware that will re-enable RefClk after it is lost, triggered by a PERST re-release. Transceiver N/A N/A
Irregular clocking issues with HPS First reconfigurations. After several HPS First, 2nd stage reconfigurations, clocking issues may arise, potentially requiring a power cycle of the device to resolve the problem. Configuration N/A N/A

Fault Injection feature not supported in Agilex™ 7M-Series devices with OPNs that do not include the R0 suffix. Fault injection feature could be enabled in Quartus® Prime Software, but the Fault Injection Debugger cannot run on hardware. Programmer N/A 100197
Intermittent functional issue on DDR5 calibration. After configuration when the device enters user mode, DDR5 calibration may become stuck as busy, indicating that the IOPLL might be unable to lock. Configuration 932974 N/A
HPS stuck between First Stage Bootloader and ATF Check during booting process. Due to a HPS RAM repair issue, failure to read/write on certain RAM sections may be observed in devices. The impacted HPS RAM is the L2 cache. Configuration N/A N/A
Intermittent HBM2e calibration issues. During configuration, HBM2e memory may not calibrate properly due to an issue with firmware. Subsequent resets to the High Bandwidth Memory (HBM2E) Interface IP might not resolve the issue. Configuration 880995 N/A
