• The x8 Avalon-ST configuration scheme uses SDM I/O pins. The x16 and x32 Avalon-ST configuration schemes use
dedicated SDM I/O pins and dual-purpose I/O pins. Refer to the SDM Pin Mapping for more information.
• To reduce configuration file size and support smaller memory sizes, and enable faster configuration, the Intel Quartus
Prime software compresses the configuration data. All Intel Agilex devices compress the configuration bitstream. You
cannot disable this feature. If specify an encrypted configuration bitstream, the Intel Quartus Prime Pro Edition software
compresses the configuration bitstream before encryption.
• A specific PCIe block included in the Intel Agilex device supports CvP.

1.2.1.1. Updating the SDM Firmware
When you generate a configuration bitstream using the File
assembler adds all firmware (including the SDM firmware) that matches the Intel Quartus Prime Pro Edition Release to
the .

Depending on the configuration scheme you specify the resulting file can be in any of the following formats:
•
Raw Binary File,
•
Programmer Object File,
•
JTAG Indirect Configuration,
•
Raw Programming Data,
•
Jam*Standard Test and Programming Language (STAPL) STAPL,
•
Jam Byte Code,
Newer versions of the Intel Quartus Prime software typically include new or updated SDM features implemented in firmware.
When regenerating your configuration bitstream, Intel recommends using the latest version of the Intel Quartus Prime Pro
Edition Software which includes the latest firmware. You do not need to recompile your
newer version of the Intel Quartus Prime Pro Edition Software. You can simply regenerate your configuration bitstream with
the new version of the Programming File Generator.
