Starting with the Quartus Prime 20.1, the GSRDs are documented on the following pages:

Release Strategy

The HPS Embedded software releases for Intel FPGA devices are scheduled as follows:
  • Quartus Standard (STD): 1 release per year. This is a binary release.
  • Quartus Pro (PRO): 4 releases per year, one each quarter. The 1st and 3rd releases are source code releases. The 2nd and 4th are binaries releases.
Note: A binary release consists of a source code release + pre-built binaries that could be loaded directly into the development kits.

Features Released

Feature Description SW/HW Component Affected Scope (Device/Board) HSD (Internal Use)
Agilex 5 Support booting to Linux with the ATF→Linux flow. This means that ATF shall boot to Linux directly, without an intermediary bootloader stage.
Commit: e4c430e4af 		ATF Agilex 5 14015551179
Add BL2 ATF-only as a supported HPS boot flow besides of the current supported BL31. ATF Agilex 5

Stratix 10
N5X
Arria 10
Cyclone V 		18030231016
Provide a Hello World and Hello example design(s) for Zephyr running on the ARM cores in the HPS cluster. The hello application exercises the following peripherals: GPIO, I2C, SDM Mailbox, SDM QSPI, Timer, UART, USB 2.0, XGMAC ethernet and HPS DMA controller. GSRD Agilex 5 18029554673
Add support for the ISSI IS25WP01GG-RHLE QSPI device for in linux-socfpga. Linux N5X 15012127935
The Linux kernel allocates that shared IRQ number to both, the Interrupt Latency Counter (ILC) driver and the GPIO driver. With the introduction of the new GPIO driver, the interface to enable shared IRQ changed significantly and does not provide a direct way to enable shared interrupt. The feature to implement consists on enabling the common interface for GPIO to enable that.

Features Released

Feature Description SW/HW Component Affected Scope (Device/Board) HSD (Internal Use)
GHRD: E-Tile 10G/25G Example.
Added to the E-Tile GHRD support for the 10G/25G Ethernet with 1588 PTP (Precise Time Protocol). 		GSRD Agilex 7 22012268158
GHRD: Add support for 25 GBE E-Tile 1588 with 1.5ns accuracy.
1588 Precise Time Protocol (PTP) is used to synchronize clocks in computer networks allowing having clock accuracy in the range of sub-microseconds. This feature was required for closing the gaps in the 1588 PTP implementation for the 25G Design example. 		GHRD Agilex 7 14015296205
u-boot: firewall driver: support read/modify/write.
This feature implies to support an optional bitmask in the firewall/security register devicetree driver that allows for a read/modify/write based on the write data and the bitfield mask. Only bits enabled in the mask shall be written, bitfield masks of 0 imply the affected register remains unchanged.

Linux Devicetree: Move FPGA Base region to 64 bit addressing.
This feature implementation implies to move FPGA base region node and associated FPGA peripheral nodes to 64bit addressing to align with the available address span of FPGA bridges.
https://github.com/altera-opensource/linux-socfpga Commit: 73e5ba250 		Linux Agilex 7
1401565813
14015658137
Linux: Enhance return codes of INTEL_FCS_DEV_SEND_CERTIFICATE to differentiate between non-provisioned device and authentication fail.
This feature allows to differentiate error conditions between Non-provisioned and Authentication failure from fcs_client application.
https://github.com/altera-opensource/linux-socfpga Commit: 6b5903e552 		Linux Agilex 7
Stratix 10 		15012124940
Linux: Driver support for 10G/25G, FEC, QSFP, high accuracy 1588 for E-tile.
The feature implementation consists on provide a complete E-Tile 10G/25GbE ethernet driver with SFP, QSFP, and auto-negotiation between 10GbE and 25GbE with advanced accuracy in 1588 PTP (Precise Time Protocol).
https://github.com/altera-opensource/linux-socfpga Commits: 0b11acba11, 0fbce577da, febc3334f9, 729d2e27b5, e7669d50e9, ceacaf3d75, 4f75a9ac1d, a2f6fb5e66 		Linux Agilex 7 14015296206
Linux: E-Tile 10G/25G Ethernet FEC Driver.
The feature implementation consist on provide a FEC driver for the E-Tile 10G/25G Ethernet driver to configure and ensure proper operation of the FEC with and without 1588 PTP support.

Debugger: Arm DS 2022.2 Update.
Verified debug capability of embedded software with new version of ARM DS. 		DS5 Device agnostic 14015686173
Linux: CvP recovery on CvP host abort - CvP Linux Driver
There was a known issue for Stratix 10/Agilex Configuration via Protocol (CvP) (Configuration Via Protocol) whereby a core image configuration error cannot be recovered without a reconfiguration of the Configuration via Protocol (CvP) periphery image. The feature implementation required making the error recoverable by updating both the firmware and Configuration via Protocol (CvP) driver. The complete solution required to updatre the Configuration via Protocol (CvP) linux driver to handle the host abort use case.
https://github.com/altera-opensource/linux-socfpga Commit: 78f9c3e542 		Linux Agilex 7
Stratix 10 		22011915758
Linux: HPS GPIO based I2C bus recovery support.
This feature implies to create a I2C bus recovery mechanism using a GPIO. In case a I2C bus (using HPS I/O) gets into a bad state, this could be set in a good state by manually clearing transactions by switching this dynamically into GPIO mode. This functionality should be provided by the I2C Linux Driver.
