Quartus Fitter Random Failing
I have a design for Cyclone VE that is about 90% full, and if I recompile the same design several times in a row, the design will intermittently fail on routing. The router settings have been at Performance (High Effort) and the design compiles often. Any suggestions here are appreciated. Thanks. JamesRe: Update single mif among multiple mif's in design with quartus_cdb
It also appears that this question was asked previously here in March 2019: https://community.intel.com/t5/Programmable-Devices/Is-it-possible-to-update-one-mif-file-instead-of-the-all-set-to/m-p/694582 From the Quartus GUI, it does not appear that this is possible. However, upon further searching, it appears possible with a Makefile, as shown here: https://github.com/tomverbeure/fpga_quick_ram_update/blob/179837c409beaad14c12c24f1323ec0cfa0468f5/quartus_max10_deca/Makefile The makefile shows iterative update of all the Makefiles in a design, but one could select a limited set of makefiles to update.Re: Quartus allows redundant overloaded functions in VHDL without a compiler error ??
Nurina, Thanks for the feedback. Regarding the feedback here, is it true that the engineering team will be addressing the VHDL function overloading issue with the Pro Edition, or a general list of issues/bugs that does not include the overloading issue? Thanks, JamesRe: Quartus allows redundant overloaded functions in VHDL without a compiler error ??
Nurina, Thanks for the feedback. I have a large codebase that I inherited with these issues, with this function scattered through out the code base. If there is some sort of fix, it would be most valuable to a current design effort. Also if the engineering team needs anything from me just let me know. Thanks.

Nurina, The basic_data_types.vhd file is included in github now. The design takes approximately 10 minutes to compile. Also, if you want to see the uart readout, you need to add a small FTDI usb uart to the gpio pins GPIO_9 (Rx) and GPIO_11 (Tx) Thanks, James
