Error programming Intel Stratix 10 MX FPGA Dev Kit (A PMBUS error has occurred during configuration)

[Salma_M_Intel]

Here is the error. I will attach the qsf file subsequently.

Info: Command: quartus_pgm -c 1 --mode=jtag top.cdf

Info (213045): Using programming cable "Intel Stratix 10 MX FPGA Development Kit [1-12]"

Error (18950): Device has stopped receiving configuration data

Error (18948): Error message received from device: Detected hardware access error. There is a failure in accessing external hardware. (Subcode 0x0032, Info 0x00000000, Location 0x0000C400)

Error (20072): A PMBUS error has occurred during configuration. Potential errors: Incorrect VID setting in Quartus Project. The target device fails to communicate to smart regulator or PMBUS Master on board.

I am using Quartus 19.1

I am using Stratix 10 MX Dev Kit with Device: 1SM21BHU2F53E2VGS1

Attached is the qsf.

I am trying to use

1. the PCIe EP edge connector and
2. QSFP ports (QSFP ports are using a QSFP28 DD cable in loopback)

Any help in what the problem could be would be much appreciated!

Hi Salma,

Based on the erro message, seems like inapropriate VID setting is set on your design. Can you please check on it?

You may refer to the Stratix 10 VID setting user guide at link below:

Hi SooY, is this something that is available for you to review in the attached qsf file?

Hi @Salma_M_Intel, were you able to resolve this problem? I am also running into the same set of errors too.
