AGILEX 3 for hobbyists?

[robinkle]

Hello.

I'm planning a new hobbyist project (gotta start somewhere) and I'm thinking about using the MAX 10 and I know it will be available until 2035. But I recently discovered that there will be a new low cost AGILEX 3 coming and I was wondering if that will be supported on the Quartus Prime Lite?

Can anyone share some info about the AGILEX 3? Is it non-volatile? How many PLL's? Blocks? Memory?

I'm curious.

Hello,

The features are not finalized yet, but below are the list of features will be available:

1. PCIe Gen 3.0 x4
2. 10G Ethernet HIP
3. Hyperflex fabric ~380MHz
4. Transceiver Tx/Rx 12.5 Gbps
5. LVDS 1.25Gbps
6. MIPI D-PHY 2.5Gbps
7. HSIO
8. HVIO
9. Dual Cortex A55 @800Mhz
10. LPDDR4
11. SHA-384, ECDSA 256/384, AES-256, side channel attack resistance, cryptographic services, physical anti-tamper support
12. and many more.

Performance comparison - 1.8x better than Cyclone V FPGAs

Power comparison - 50% lower than Cyclone V FPGAs

Hi Farabi,

Can you comment if there will be an Agilex 3 serie with non volatile configuration memory, to replace the MAX 10 family?

[Farabi]

Hello,

Agilex3 is not meant to replace MAX10, Cyclone V and Cyclone 10. These device will continue to be available until 2040. Agilex3 will not have non-volatile memory like MAX10. Instead it will have ARM-A55 core.

It would be nice to have a new device with on-chip flash again, like MAX 10, but I doubt that's going to happen anytime soon, especially with the lifetime extension for those older devices.
