General Parameters
Table 13–2 lists the parameters available on the General Options tab.
Table 13–2. General and Datapath Options
Name Range Description
Device speed grade 3fastest–6_H6 Specifies the speed grade.
Message level for rule violations
error
warning
Allows you to specify the message level, as follows:
■ error: Quartus II checker will not create an instance with
invalid parameters. You must change incompatible parameter
selections to proceed.
■ warning: Quartus II checker will allow instance creation with
invalid parameters, but the instance will not compile
successfully.
Datapath Options
Enable TX datapath On/Off When you turn this option On, the core includes the TX datapath.
Enable RX datapath On/Off When you turn this option On, the core includes the RX datapath.
Enable Standard PCS On/Off
When you turn this option On, the core includes the Standard
PCS.
Number of data channels
1-36
Specifies the total number of data channels in each direction.
Bonding mode
Non–bonded
×N
In Non–bonded mode, each channel is assigned a PLL. During
Quartus II compilation, the Fitter merges all PLLs that meet
merging requirements into a single PLL.
Select ×N to use the same clock source for up to 6 channels in a
single transceiver bank or the same clock source for all the
transceivers on one side of the device. ×N bonding results in
reduced clock skew. You must use contiguous channels when
you select ×N bonding.
For more information about the clock architecture of bonding,
refer to “Transmitter Clock Network” in Transceiver Clocking in
Arria V Devices in volume 2 of the Arria V Device Handbook.
Enable simplified data interface On/Off
When you turn this option On, the data interface provides only
the relevant interface to the FPGA fabric for the selected
configuration. You can only use this option for static
configurations.
When you turn this option Off, the data interface provides the full
physical interface to the fabric. Select this option if you plan to
use dynamic reconfiguration that includes changing the interface
to the FPGA fabric.
Refer to “Active Bits for Each Fabric Interface Width” for
guidance.
