I have 2 FPGAs connected over a Multi-Gigabit Serial Lite III interface.
In addition to the high data rate communications I need to transfer register values between the FPGAs - with one of them being the Master and the other the Slave. For example. lighting an LED that's connected to the Slave FPGA via a register value that's sent from the Master over Serial Lite III to the Slave.
As an option, I can design my own custom message protocol that's layered on-top of the Serial Lite III and allocates a minor portion of the bandwidth for control functions. But I'd like to avoid that and use something native...
So is there a native Intel IP that does that ?
Something like an "Avalon MM Lite extender" on top of Serial Lite III

Hi shaiko,
May I know that you use which FPGA in this case?

Hi Shaiko,
You can refer to this Serial Lite III Streaming Intel® FPGA IP. For further information about this IP, you may refer to link below https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683330/22-4-20-0-0/quick-reference.html

Hello,
This doesn't answer my question - I couldn't find any helpful information in the link.
Do you understand what I want to achieve ?

Hi Shaiko,
Can I understand your question as you want know which native PHY IP that can support for the 2 FPGAs connected over a Multi-Gigabit Serial Lite III interface?

No. I don't have a doubt that the Arria 10 and Stratix 10 will be able to communicate over Serial Lite III.
What I'm asking is: Does Altera offer a native interface to transfer register values over Serial Lite III like I illustrated in the above diagram.

I don't see a provision for a sideband channel in Serial Lite III interface. You need to insert sideband data in the stream workload.

Thanks for your input.
The competition does seem to have something like that in the form of the AXI C2C. So I thought Intel has something similar.
