Agilex® 7 P-Tile Multi-Channel DMA Debug Toolkit isn't working in Quartus® v22.4

[skbeh]

This is an issue sharing of Agilex P-tile MCDMA PCIe Debug Toolkit :

Agilex® 7 P-tile Multi Channel DMA Intel® FPGA IP for PCI Express Debug Toolkit isn't working for Gen4 1x8 in Quartus® v22.4. However the P-Tile MCDMA DTK is working fine in Gen4 1x16.
Gen4 1x8: Not able to open Toolkit as it throws a timeout error.

This problem is planned to be fixed in future release of Quartus® Pro software version.

For more information about P-tile MCDMA PCIe IP, refer to the 'Multi Channel DMA Intel® FPGA IP for PCI Express User Guide' https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683821/23-1/before-you-begin.html

Thank you for sharing this issue. It seems the Agilent P-tile MCDMA PCIe Debug Toolkit is encountering a timeout error with Gen4 x8 in Quartus v22.4, though it works fine for Gen4 x16. Since this is planned to be fixed in a future Quartus Pro release, you might want to keep an eye on updates from Intel. The provided link to the Multi Channel DMA Intel FPGA IP for PCI Express User Guide could also offer additional insights or workarounds in the meantime.
