FPGA example design for Agilex 7 with HPS connected to SDRAM

[awaissman]

I am trying to create design for the Agilex HPS SDRAM and I'm running into issues.

Does anyone have any experience with this and may be know where i can find design example?

I found some references but not acurate, so i could not follow them.

Thanks,

Hello,

May I know what is the issue that you're facing?

Have you checked the HPS example design from RocketBoards website?

https://www.rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/HPSExampleDesignForAgilex7ISeriesDeKit2xRTileAnd1xFTile

Hi Adzim,

I wish I could find it on my own.

This is what I looked at and I am wondering why no similar reference designs are available at Intel site.

I am in the process of building it with Quartus version 24.1.0.

Successfully complete updating all IP's and waiting for completion.

Again thanks.

All HPS-related design examples and code are at Rocketboards, so you won't find them at the Intel web site.

This is understood able, what i meant is why Intel do not provide any HSP design reference on Intel side.

You can find plenty references designs for Nios but not for HPS.

Thanks,

Because Rocketboards was set up as a dedicated site for HPS designs and code.  It's been like that since the first HPS devices in 2012/2013.

Got it,

Still why no references at Intel site for this arrangement.

I could not find this on my own, glad that Adzim reply.

In any case it's resolved.

Thanks.

Can i ask another q on same issue.

I also trying to simulate design with questa simulator. I did generate TB and was able compile, but getting error:

Error: (vsim-8388) Could not find the MVC shared library : MvcHome directory '' is not a valid MV

Been told that i need QVIP license that include with Altera FPGA license, but i am not able find instructions how to set it up.

Probably i should post new Q.

Please let me know if you know how to resolve this.

Thanks again.

Hi Albert,

There are two KDBs that you can refer to workaround the error.

You can submit a new thread to continue the discussion on this issue as this thread is discuss for different question and marked as solved already.

I will close this thread.
