3.12. Configurable Intel® Quartus® Prime Software Settings

You can configure the FHT and FGT PMAs using the Intel® Quartus® Prime software settings file. (.qsf)
You can specify values for the following HSSI parameters in the Intel® Quartus® Prime settings file (.qsf) to configure the FHT and FGT PMAs:
Note: The settings listed in this section do not apply to the FHT and FGT reference clocks.

set_instance_assignment -name HSSI_PARAMETER "txout_tristate_en=<parameter_value>" -to <TX_SERIAL_PIN> -entity <TOP_LEVEL_NAME>

Example:

set_instance_assignment -name HSSI_PARAMETER "txout_tristate_en=TXOUT_TRISTATE_EN" -to tx_serial_data[0] -entity top

TX equalization:

Post tap: Valid register settings for the parameter value are 0-63

set_instance_assignment -name HSSI_PARAMETER "txeq_post_tap_<n>=<parameter_value>" -to <TX_SERIAL_PIN> -entity <TOP_LEVEL_NAME>

Pre tap: Valid register settings for the parameter value are 0-63

set_instance_assignment -name HSSI_PARAMETER "txeq_pre_tap_<n>=<parameter_value>" -to <TX_SERIAL_PIN> -entity <TOP_LEVEL_NAME>

Main tap: Valid register settings for the parameter value are 0-127

set_instance_assignment -name HSSI_PARAMETER "txeq_main_tap=<parameter_value>" -to <TX_SERIAL_PIN> -entity <TOP_LEVEL_NAME>

Example:

Post tap:

set_instance_assignment -name HSSI_PARAMETER "txeq_post_tap_1=0" -to tx_serial_data[0] -entity top
set_instance_assignment -name HSSI_PARAMETER "txeq_post_tap_2=0" -to tx_serial_data[0] -entity top
