Why does my Arria 10 SoC industrial grade device fail to boot at low temperature?

Environment

  • Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT

    Critical Issue

    Description

    Certain Hard Processor System (HPS) PLL clock output frequencies require a specific programming setup sequence to ramp the PLL frequency gradually in Arria 10 SoC industrial grade devices at -40degreesC, otherwise the HPS may fail to boot.

    Resolution

    To workaround this issue in SoC EDS software version 16.0, download the patch below and follow the instructions in the readme.

    Download the SoC EDS software version 16.0 Patch 002soc for Linux(.run)
