Hi Team;

what is the possible way to configure AFE7950 by AGFB014R24B (Intel Agilex - 7 FPGA F - Series Transceiver - SoC),

Either by using FPGA section or by HPS section

Hi Balaganesh,

We currently have an app note below showing how this process is done for the microblaze in Xilinx FPGAs. A similar process and code can be followed for the Intel FPGAs.

Best,

Hi Camilo,

Thanks for your reply, we already refer that document. Depends upon our requirement we need to know

1. In Intel also AFE7950 configuration done by only FPGA part or any possible to make it by HPS part.

2. If any possible with HPS part then which tool is suitable instead of microblaze.

Hi Balaganesh,

All you need is a processor and an SPI module to interface with the AFE. And the software flow explained in the guide will generate the required C code.

You can refer to the guide below for the contrast between Intel's and Xilinx's flow:
