Why does the Intel® DisplayPort IP have no audio transport for small horizontal blanking periods?

Environment

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

    Critical Issue

    Description

    Due to a problem with the DisplayPort IP, the DisplayPort TX core is not able to transport any audio sample when the resolution of horizontal blanking is smaller than the period shown below.

    • For quad symbol mode (SYMBOLS_PER_CLOCK = 4)
      • The minimum horizontal blanking period (in link clock cycles) to transport audio is 22, 21, 20 for transceiver lanes 1, 2, and 4, respectively. 
    • For dual symbol mode (SYMBOLS_PER_CLOCK = 2)
      • The minimum horizontal blanking period (in link clock cycles) to transport audio is 38, 35, 34 for transceiver lanes 1, 2, and 4, respectively. 
    Resolution

    This problem is fixed in version 17.0 of the Intel® Quartus® Prime software.
