Why does the Mailbox Client Intel® FPGA IP not function correctly when connected to an asynchronous reset?

Environment

  • Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition
  • Mailbox Client Intel® Stratix® 10 FPGA IP
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
    Description

    In Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software versions 19.4 and earlier, you may find that the Mailbox Client Intel FPGA IP does not function correctly when connected to an asynchronous reset including the output of the Reset Release Intel® FPGA IP when using Intel® Stratix® 10 devices.

    Resolution

    To work around this, a reset synchronizer should be used with the Mailbox Client Intel FPGA IP . This can be implemented using the Reset Bridge IP available in Platform Designer. This problem is fixed starting with Intel Quartus Prime Pro Edition software version 20.1.
