3. Changes in Software Behavior
- The PCIe-attach and SoC design examples are updated to use the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software, version 24.3.
- The Yocto project version for the SoC design examples is updated from Nanbield (4.3.4) to Scarthgap (5.0.2).
- Python and Pip are added to the SoCdesign examples OS images.
- The Python benchmark now requires use of the --input-precision=fp32 option to ensure that the input data is converted to the correct type. The Python benchmark produces an error if this option is not used and the input data type is unsupported.
- The dla_build_example_design.py command now requests that the DISPLAY environment variable be unset if the value is set to an invalid display. This avoids a situation where the Quartus® Prime software may attempt to connect to the invalid display during bitstream compilation, resulting in an error.
- The file path location specified by the --dump_dir option of the dla_compiler command is now used as the destination location for most of the .csv, .txt, and .dot files created by the compiler. If you do not specify the --dump_dir option, these files are placed in the current working directory.
- The architecture parameters for layout transform have changed. The new parameters set maximum values for the for the transform operation while the previous parameter set exact values for the transform operation. Also, output dimensions are no longer specified for the layout transform. Architecture that have layout transformation enabled must be updated to use the new parameters. The old parameters are no longer supported. For details, refer to FPGA AI Suite IP Reference Manual .
