Bus Failure using FPGA-to-SDRAM Interface

Environment

  • Quartus® II Subscription Edition
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT

    Critical Issue

    Description

    When trying to access SDRAM through the SoC’s FPGA-to-SDRAM interface, your design might experience a bus failure, resulting in either of the following symptoms:

    • The FPGA-to-SDRAM interface hangs
    • The interface transfers spurious data
    Resolution

    If your design uses the FPGA-to-SDRAM interface, you must download and install a software patch. If you are using Quartus II v12.1, you must first upgrade to v13.0.

    Download and install the latest Stratix V/Arria V/Cyclone V device patch from the Altera Knowledge Base, at http://www.altera.com/support/kdb/solutions/rd05172013_891.html.
