Intel Arria10 GX Development Kit - DDR3 example design - traffic_gen_fail

Hello.

I'd like to ask a question about DDR3 example design for Intel Arria 10 GX Development Kit (DK-DEV-10AX115S-A).

I'm facing at the traffic generator test failure (traffic_gen_fail = 1) after getting the calibration success (local_cal_success = 1).

The conditions are followings:

Tool and device:

  • Quartus Prime Pro 22.4
  • Arria 10 GX Development Kit (DK-DEV-10AX115S-A)
  • DDR3 HILO module bundled with Development Kit
  • Board Test System (bts_ddr3.sof) passed with no errors

DDR3 IP

  • External Memory Interfaces Intel Arria 10 FPGA IP (DDR3)
  • Applied the preset for DDR3 HILO for Arria 10 GX Development Kit
  • No additional modification applied to the IP configuration
  • Generate Example Design

Example Design

  • LED D3 Green (local_cal_success), LED D10 Red (traffic_gen_fail) are ON
  • The simulation provided with the example design passes, thus it reaches both local_cal_success and traffic_gen_pass asserted.
  • With Signal Tap, address and writedata matches the simulation result, on the other hand, readdata looks unmached from the first data when the traffic generator test started.
  • With External Memory Interface Toolkit, the calibration report looks fine.
  • If DDR3 IP configured with Efficiency Monitor Interface, it shows 89.04%, the other reports look fine to me.

Others

  • I have tested with several Arria 10 GX Development Kit boards, however, they shows same symptom.

 

I'll appreciate if any information to solve this situation.
