Stratix 10 communicating with Arria V - Stratix 10 communicating with Arria V Hello, I need to design a high speed communication interface (around 40 Gb/s across 8 differential lanes) between a Stratix 10 and Arria 5 FPGAs. To limit the design effort, I wanted to use Serial Lite. However, it seems like the Stratix 10 supports SL3 while the Arria V supports SL2. Please suggest an alternative that would limit the design effort to a minimum. Replies: Re: Stratix 10 communicating with Arria V Hi shaiko, Since your issue has been resolved, I am now close the case. If you happen any issue after the case closed, please do feel free to submit another issue. Best regards, zying Replies: Re: Stratix 10 communicating with Arria V Hi shaiko, You may use SL3 because I found that Stratix 10 and Arria V support SL3. For further information, you may refer link below, Table 1, https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683330/23-3-20-0-2/quick-reference.html Best regards, zying Replies: Re: Stratix 10 communicating with Arria V I need to design a high speed communication interface (around 40 Gb/s across 8 differential lanes) between a Stratix 10 and Arria 5. That's a hard requirement - I can't use Arria 10. It must be Arria 5 and Stratix 10. What's the easiest way to connect them ? Replies: Re: Stratix 10 communicating with Arria V Hi shaiko, My suggestion is you can use SL3 if you use the device Arria 10 instead of Arria V. For further information, you may refer link below, Table 1, https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683330/23-3-20-0-2/quick-reference.html Besides that, as I know, only Arria 10 device has the special request for a special license to enable the Intel Quartus® Prime software to generate the FPGA configuration file (.sof) when using SL2.

I can use any Quartus version. Replies: Re: Stratix 10 communicating with Arria V Hi, May I know you are using which quartus version? Best regards, zying
