Why is the internal serial loopback test failing in the F-Tile Low Latency 50G Ethernet IP design example? - Why is the internal serial loopback test failing in the F-Tile Low Latency 50G Ethernet IP design example? Description Due to a problem in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software version 24.3.1 and earlier, you may see internal serial loopback test failure for the F-Tile Low Latency 50G Ethernet Design Example due to a mismatch in the QSF pin assignments of the Design example project. Resolution To work around this problem in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software version 24.3.1 and earlier, locate the alt_e50_f_hw.qsf file in the Example Design project directory and modify the pin location assignments of the serial transceiver, QSFP control, and clock signal ports, as shown below. # Pin & Location Assignments # ================= ========= set_location_assignment PIN_R14 -to clk_ref set_location_assignment PIN_CM29 -to clk100 set_location_assignment PIN_AC10 -to o_tx_serial[0] set_location_assignment PIN_Y7 -to o_tx_serial[1] set_location_assignment PIN_AC4 -to i_rx_serial[0] set_location_assignment PIN_T1 -to i_rx_serial[1] set_location_assignment PIN_AB11 -to o_tx_serial_n[0] set_location_assignment PIN_AA8 -to o_tx_serial_n[1] set_location_assignment PIN_AB5 -to i_rx_serial_n[0] set_location_assignment PIN_U2 -to i_rx_serial_n[1] set_location_assignment PIN_CM23 -to qsfp_rstn set_location_assignment PIN_CP23 -to qsfp_lowpwr This problem is fixed beginning with the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software version 25.1 Custom Fields values: ['novalue'] Troubleshooting 16026472509 False ['F-Tile Low Latency 50G Ethernet Soft-IP'] ['FPGA Dev Tools Quartus® Prime Software Pro'] 25.1 24.3.1 ['Agilex™ 7 FPGAs and SoCs'] ['novalue'] ['novalue'] ['novalue'] - 2025-06-10
