Why does the Intel® Stratix® 10 Chip ID IP core read all zeros in user mode?

Environment

  • Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition
  • Chip ID Intel® Stratix® 10 FPGA IP
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
    Description

    When the Intel® Stratix® 10 Chip ID IP core is taken out of reset in user mode, you may see no output on the 'chip_id' port even after the assertion of 'data_valid' signal. This may be seen with designs compiled in Intel Quartus® Prime Pro software version 17.1. 

    Resolution

    To read out the unique chip ID from Intel Stratix 10 devices

    • Assert reset initially to reset the chip ID IP core.
    • Trigger a high -> low transition on the 'readid' port to initiate one read command to the IP core.
    • Use the 'readid' port to trigger multiple reads in user mode.

    This problem has been fixed in Intel Quartus Prime Pro software version 18.0.
