Is there a known issue with generating a Comma-Separated Value (.csv) file for the Early Power Estimator (EPE) tool in the Quartus® II software version 13.0sp1 and earlier for Cyclone® V SoC devices?

Environment

  • Quartus® II Software
    • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
    Description

    Yes, there is a known issue with generating an Early Power Estimator .csv file in the Quartus® II software version 13.0sp1 and earlier for Cyclone® V SoC devices.

    When the .csv file is imported into the EPE tool, the I/O power for the Hard Processor System (HPS) functions is counted in both the HPS and FPGA I/O sections of the EPE tool, resulting in higher estimated power than expected. The HPS I/O power should only be accounted for in the HPS section of the EPE tool.

    Resolution

    This is fixed in the Quartus II software v13.1.
