Serial Lite 3 and PCIe 4

[shaiko]

Hello,

I'm looking for an FPGA that can support PCIe 4.0 as well as Serial Lite 3.

The Agilex 7 supports PCIe 4.0 and also has E-Tiles (which the Arria 10 and Stratix 10 FPGAs use for Serial Lite 3). But Agilex 7 is missing from the Serial Lite 3 user guide. 

So can Agilex 7 do Serial Lite 3 or only Serial Lite 4 ?

Hi,

From my search I could narrow down to Stratix 10 DX FPGAs.

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/fpga/stratix/10/dx.html

It supports PCIe 4.0 as well as listed in the SerialLite III IP support table:

Find Intel® FPGA Intellectual Property (IP) Cores

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply.

Is Stratix 10 DX the only option ?

I see that Agilex 7 has a version with E-Tiles and I know that E-Tiles can be used by Stratix 10 for Serial Lite 3.

So why can't the Agilex 7 ?

The Serial Lite III IP is not validated in Agilex 7.
