Critical Issue
The latest device firmware for the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 22.2 can be downloaded from the following links.
Fixes for the following problems are included in the latest release (The newest release contains all prior fixes and supersedes earlier device firmware releases).
Change Log
Firmware version 0.09fw:
- Intel Agilex® FPGA CvP update failure after accessing QSPI via Mailbox Client IP.
- Incorrect PMBus frequency and duty cycle in the first configuration cycle after power up, and PCIe/Ethernet functional failure after reconfiguration.
Firmware version 0.11fw:
- M20K functional errors in Partial Reconfiguration Regions, seen after partial reconfiguration on Intel Agilex FPGA portfolio.
- HPS boot instability due to erroneously disabled HPS RAM repair functionality.
Firmware version 0.16fw:
- During Intel Agilex device 2x8 bifurcation mode, refclk1 is not preset cause PCIe0 can not be identified after reboot.
Firmware version 0.28fw:
- SHA mismatch errors and AVSTx8 configuration failures when using an encrypted configuration bitstream.
- Quartus programmer support to load provisioning firmware via AVSTx8 using PFL-II IP.
Firmware version 0.29fw:
- Possible M20K functional failure after partial reconfiguration on Intel Agilex FPGAs.
- Internal error that the Fitter may encounter on Intel Agilex devices: Internal Error: Sub-system: U2B2_CDB, File: /quartus/db/u2b2/u2b2_re_network_checker.cpp, Line: 174
Firmware version 0.34fw:
- The F-Tile Avalon-ST PCI Express link intermittently stuck in link training when using AVSTx8 or ASx4 configuration scheme.
Firmware version 0.39fw:
- This patch fixes the SDM firmware bug that when the Sub-System Manager (SSM) RAM repair information is applied incorrectly, this RAM is inaccessible to users. The impacted Intel Agilex FPGA OPNs are: AGF019, AGF023, AGI019, AGI023.
Firmware version 0.45fw:
- Fixes a bug that can cause random Partial Reconfiguration (PR) failure after PR interruption by resetting LSM after the interruption.
- Fix a problem where the RSU fails to recover after using an incorrect device application image.
Firmware version 0.50fw:
- Quartus Programmer and firmware fixes to apply M20K repair to hierarchical PR selectively, based on parent/child relationships and static and PR regions. Bug was impacting PR reconfiguration only. Does not impact non-PR flows. Impacts all Intel Agilex FPGA family.
- LSM Sector FW issue (Mode 1) - Firmware bug fix to clear the M20K repair registers prior to loading M20K repair fuse data. This bug can cause a failure during a partial or full reconfiguration cycle on Intel Agilex FPGAs.
- PR (FW corrupts CRAM data during PR persona programming) - Firmware bug fix to ensure a data line buffer row update was being applied to the correct row. This bug can cause a failure during a partial or full reconfiguration cycle on Intel Agilex FPGAs.
- Disabled SDOS feature.
