Why am I seeing the below mask error for R-Tile Avalon® Streaming FPGA IP for PCI Express Gen4 (16GT/s) when running the Lane Margining tool in Debug Toolkit? - Why am I seeing the below mask error for R-Tile Avalon® Streaming FPGA IP for PCI Express Gen4 (16GT/s) when running the Lane Margining tool in Debug Toolkit?
Description Due to a problem in the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software version 25.3.1 and earlier, you may see the below mask error during R-tile PCIe Gen4 (16.0GT/s) electrical lane margining test. Resolution To address this, update the margin reference validation data as follows: 4.64ps for 1e-9 and 6.13ps for 1e-12 corresponding to an estimated end-to-end channel loss of 18db @ 8GHz (16.0GT/s). These data are scheduled to be updated in a future release of Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software version and R-Tile Avalon® Streaming IP for PCI Express User Guide. Note : The margin reference validation data is based on the Intel® Eagle Stream platform with an internal validation board (at PCIe slot B) whose total insertional loss range from 33dB to 36dB @ 16GHz (32.0GT/s) based on PCIe Base spec 5.0 (from lane0 to lane15). Your system design may differ, and therefore these margin references are estimates and subject to change.
