What is the difference between SDI configuration compared to SDI_NATIVE and SDI_STATIC configurations in the F-tile PMA/FEC Direct PHY IP and F-tile PMA/FEC Direct PHY Multirate IP? - What is the difference between SDI configuration compared to SDI_NATIVE and SDI_STATIC configurations in the F-tile PMA/FEC Direct PHY IP and F-tile PMA/FEC Direct PHY Multirate IP?
Description Due to a problem in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software version 25.3.1, the F-tile PMA/FEC Direct PHY IP and F-tile PMA/FEC Direct PHY Multirate IP has incorrectly displayed the SDI_NATIVE and SDI_STATIC configuration as part of the FGT PMA configuration rules parameter options. These options are not applicable and should not be used when you are operating configuration rules in SDI mode. Resolution To work around this problem in the Quartus Prime Pro Edition software version 25.3.1, you should select the SDI configuration under the F-tile PMA/FEC Direct PHY IP and F-tile PMA/FEC Direct PHY Multirate IP and apply the below HSSI QSF assignment in your Quartus Setting Files (.qsf). Ensure the correct HSSI QSF assignment is being added following the parameters/configurations listed in the table.
