2.3. Configuration

This section describes the configuration solution for Cyclone® V to Agilex™ 5 device migration.

The following table provides an overview of the supported configuration schemes between Cyclone® V and Agilex™ 5 devices:

Table 2.  Supported Configuration Scheme
Configuration Scheme Cyclone® V Agilex™ 5
Active Active Serial (AS)
  • Fast mode
  • Normal mode
AS x1, AS x4 AS x4
Passive Passive Serial (PS) Data width:X1 Not supported
Fast Passive Parallel (FPP) / Avalon® -ST FPP x8/x16 Avalon® -ST x8/x16
JTAG Supported Supported
CvP PCIe 1.0 or 2.0 x1/x2/x4 PCIe 4.0 x1/x2/x4/x8

In summary:

  • Cyclone® V device supports AS x1 mode, but an Agilex™ 5 device does not support it. Both devices support the AS x4 mode. Agilex™ 5 device supports the remote system upgrade and Quad SPI (QSPI) flash access feature via AS x4 interfaces of the Cyclone® V device.
  • Agilex™ 5 device does not support the PS mode.
  • You can migrate a Cyclone® V device's FPP mode with the Agilex™ 5 device's Avalon® -ST x8/x16 mode.
  • Agilex™ 5 device supports JTAG and Configuration via Protocol (CvP) configurations of the Cyclone® V device. Agilex™ 5 device's CvP configuration time is shorter than Cyclone® V because it supports PCIe* 4.0 with x1 to x8 data lanes.
